The 47th Guards Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment (47th GRAP), stationed at Shatalovo Air Base, operated the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25RBF during the late Cold War. This specialized reconnaissance variant of the legendary Foxbat was equipped with advanced radar, cameras, and electronic intelligence gear, capable of Mach 2.8 high-altitude missions. From Shatalovo, near the western Soviet frontier, the regiment monitored NATO activities across Europe, conducting strategic reconnaissance flights that provided critical intelligence on air defense networks, troop movements, and infrastructure. The Guards designation highlighted the unit's distinguished heritage, while the MiG-25RBF gave it unmatched speed and altitude performance for penetrating hostile airspace. 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.
