This is a two-seat combat trainer derived from the MiG-25P featuring an additional fore cockpit to seat the instructor. The fuselage’s fore section up to frame 1 was radically reconfigured. Introduction of the second cockpit ended up in removal of the radar followed by the removal of R-40R radar homing air-to-air missiles from the weapons suite while the R-40T heatseeker AAMs were retained. The plane was developed under the resolution of the commission of the USSR Council of Ministers of 7 July, 1965. The preliminary design phase had been underway since 1967 until 1969. The first prototype was built in August 1969 having been derived from the series-made MiG-25P (reg. #405). The maiden flight was performed by test pilot A.V.Fedotov. The aircraft had been undergoing the official testing since September 1970 until July 1971. In 1970, the MiG-25PU was put to the series production at the Gorky-based aircraft production plant. It was produced until 1985 with the total of nearly 180 combat trainers having been built. During 1975-78, the MiG-25PU designated E-133 and flown by test pilot S.E.Savitskaya established four world speed and altitude records (female category).
