MiG-25 Foxbat
Sauce??? Wikipedia
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft that is among the fastest military aircraft to enter service. Designed by the Soviet Union's Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau, it is an aircraft built primarily using stainless steel. It was to be the last aircraft designed by Mikhail Gurevich, before his retirement.
The first prototype flew in 1964 and the aircraft entered service in 1970. Although it was capable of reaching Mach 3.2+, this would result in the engines accelerating out of control and needing replacement, therefore the operational top speed was limited to Mach 2.83. The MiG-25 features a powerful radar and four air-to-air missiles, and it still has the world record for reached altitude of 38 km (125,000 ft).
When first seen in reconnaissance photography, the large wings suggested an enormous and highly manoeuvrable fighter, at a time when U.S. design theories were also evolving towards higher manoeuvrability due to combat experience in the Vietnam War. The appearance of the MiG-25 sparked serious concern in the West and prompted dramatic increases in performance requirements for the American F-X fighter programme that led to the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle in the late 1960s. The capabilities of the MiG-25 were better understood by the West in 1976 when Soviet pilot Viktor Belenko defected in a MiG-25 to the United States via Japan. It turned out that the aircraft's weight necessitated its large wings.

Fun fact: the MiG-25 had a top speed of Mach 3.8, but when it reached those speeds for prolonged time it would damage the engines, so it was held back to Mach 3.2 until active interception. It was also originally built to intercept the cancelled B-70 Valkyrie, but got a new lease on life with the creation of the SR-71 Blackbird. It was exported to a few Arab nations, where it helped reconnaissance operations on Israeli military operations, perfectly immune to interception by Israeli F-4s. It has been replaced by the MiG-31 “Foxhound”, which was originally a variant of the Foxbat. It still serves with the Syrian military to this day, but even there its days are numbered, as they are looking for a replacement for the aging aircraft. The reason it has large wings is because the aircraft is aerodynamically a flying brick, without the lifting body found in most fighters. The United States mistook it as a highly maneuverable aircraft, which led to the F-15, which was the most capable fighter in the US arsenal until the arrival of
The F-22.
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries ye, it is
@PeralaandskaVIAM1985 did u mean i kinda like Pitot Tube? Bcuz yea i kinda looks like lol
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries speed tube, thru variations of pressure it understands the AirSpeed
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries this reminds me when i build this american captured thing
Hi :D I’m back
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries probably for the radar stuff Idk
Wow, cool Mig-25
@WritersCrusadersAirCo2 no way, its you again
.
Yoooo welcome back bro 🔥🔥🔥
Happy to see you againnnn
@MABURv2 hehe M-
@deutschFELLA that pointy pitot tube? Honestly idk too lol bcuz that's from the blueprint tho
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries the nose
@deutschFELLA on the front wut?
