Even in a fighter, unless it has waaaaayyy more thrust than weight (F-22; Flanker), you can't motor your way out.
Even if the Thrust to Weight ratio is greater than one, you still have to account for drag. Example: if you have a fighter with 20,000lbs of thrust, and it can do 650 indicated, then it stops accelerating, then at 650 kts, the
drag is 20,000lbs.
That is a lot of drag.
