The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat is a supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft that is among the fastest military aircraft to enter service. It has an operational top speed of Mach 2.83. Although its thrust was sufficient to reach Mach 3.2+, its speed was limited to prevent engines from overheating at higher air speeds and possibly damaging them beyond repair. The Foxbat was designed to serve as a high-speed interceptor or high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. The original the reconnaissance variant (MiG-25R) was later developed into a reconnaissance-bomber variant (MiG-25RB) that spawned several sub-variants, including the MiG-25RBT Foxbat-B.
Designed as a high-speed, high-altitude interceptor to counter the threat posed by the US XB-70 Valkyrie bomber, the MiG-25 was first flown on September 9th, 1964. The airframe was designed around a pair of massive Tumansky R-15(B) turbojet engines, capable of propelling it to a top speed of around Mach 3. The Foxbat is one of the fastest production aircraft to enter service. In addition to the interceptor variants, numerous reconnaisance variants were also produced. The MiG-25 has seen service with several air forces besides Russia including those of Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
