How this Soviet Jet haunted the West ? - The MiG 25 Foxbat
The Mig-25, a Soviet interceptor aircraft developed in response to the American B-70 bomber, became a symbol of Soviet technological prowess during the Cold War. Its exceptional speed and altitude capabilities made it a terrifying presence in the skies. The Mig-25's development shocked Western defense establishments, leading to speculation and analysis by experts. The Soviet Union showcased the aircraft at an airshow in 1967, further fueling public suspense and raising concerns among Western nations. However, the true capabilities of the Mig-25 were revealed when a Russian pilot defected in 1976, and American officials had the opportunity to thoroughly inspect the aircraft. They discovered that the Mig-25 was not as agile or formidable as believed. Its large wings were primarily designed for stability, and its avionics were powered by vacuum tubes. The engines were limited to a top speed of Mach 2.8. The revelation caused a shift in perceptions, with the US technology surpassing the Mig-25's capabilities. The Soviet Union upgraded the aircraft, but its focus shifted to developing the Mig-31 interceptor. The Mig-25 remains the fastest fighter jet ever produced, setting numerous world records for speed and altitude.
