Watching those MiG-25 (my favorite aircraft) taking off and flying makes me want to become a fighter pilot. However, I unfortunately know that I don't have what it takes to become one. You've got to admire those who dare to follow this career. You need a lot of courage, concentration, even-mindedness, dedication and physical fitness to do that successfully. Now add to this that these Soviet pilots prepared themselves to fly the highest flying and fastest interceptor that was ever mass-produced, it's an impressive tour de force!
@@askme5805 it was intended to go beyond Mach 3.0 and more,,, technically it can, But giving the fact That Mig-25 Afterburners wont be going that fast without Damaging its own Engine and airframe , Its Safety Top speed only Around "Mach 2.8 Also Mig 25 made of Heavy Nickel Steel alloy, In Short This Masterpiece Wont and Never Will be Manouverable, If it uses Lighterweight Titanium, It may be somewhat manouverable
Вспоминаю своё детство. 1972 год, зима, играем детишки во дворе снежных сугробах. Случайно поднимаю голову, а высоко в небе две серебряные стрелы, рассекают в небе. Инверсионные следы. Красотища! До сих пор отчетливо в памяти.
@@roadhigher Not true... It might be the fastest armed plane to go into service, but the YF-12A was the fastest armed plane ever made. Maximum speed was Mach 3.2 and it carried an early derivative of the AIM-54 Phoenix Missile. Died due to costs. The Vietnam War was eating up all funding.
All it succeeded in doing was push the Americans to develop the F-15. The Foxbat wasn’t a dog fighter. It’s sole role was high speed in a straight lime. Focuses on intercepting the XB-70, it would melt its fan blades if it travelled at Mach3.2. Quite unsatisfactory. The Mig-31 was a better, if still flawed aircraft.
Il leggendario MIG 25! ❤️ Grazie per questi contenuti, mi sarebbe piaciuto sentire il suono dei motori! Onore e gloria eterni ai risultati raggiunti dal popolo Sovietico! Saluti dall'Italia! ❤️🇮🇹🤝🏻🇷🇺❤️
@@riccardosmirnov5063 ... I said that the cost of departure and the preparation time of the thrush does not allow it to be classified as a standard airplane ... and the cost of the airplane ... and the MIG is made of cheap steel so this is a normal record for a normal airplane
В учебке у нас стоял залазил в кабину на высоте 3 метров, колёсики чуть меньше чем у трактора Беларусь, в полку видел живьём мощнейший аппарат,это его угнал предатель на Хокайдо
Угон на Хоккайдо заставил менять коды свой-чужой и модернизировать радар в срочном порядке. И все равно никто не смог эффективно противостоять этому самолёту. Даже когда на нем летали менее обученные арабские лётчики.
I really cannot understand how USSR could make the world's best tanks, guns, ICBMs, submarines amd fighter jets but couldnt produce simple things like a dentist's kit.
@@KillerofWestoids I really don’t understand how United States has the biggest defense budget in the world but doesn’t have universal or free healthcare
@@justaperson1619 It's because their politicians find it more financially beneficial to listen to commercial lobbies and private interests than to trully serve their own population needs and hopes. As a citizen of a neighboring country of the US, I find this very painful and sorrowful to watch.
Very sad the thought that we would never see airplanes like that in the sky again but another thing is that luckily the legacy of the MIG 25 and the dedication of the designer's, technicians, pilot's and people who have made this things happen would live on in the MIG 31 hopefully for a long time in the future.
Istvan, I wish you NEVER see Soviet military aircrafts in the skies of your Homeland. Appreciate the fact that your homeland and neighbors are reliably protected from the number 1 aggressor country. By the way, is the Li-2 excursion airplane still flying over Budapest? I wanted to arrive before the start of the pandemic, but did not have time. When I was a very young boy, I flew the Li-2 and Il-14.
@@wertushka2715 1. The USSR and the Reich were countries of a totalitarian ideology, which they imposed on their citizens and tried to export. The US does not have a totalitarian ideology. 2. Thanks to the active participation of the USA in WW2, the totalitarian ideology of the Reich was eliminated. In addition, it was the USA and UK that prevented the Soviets from advancing into Western Europe. That is, they saved European civilization from commies invasion. 3. The US has done no harm to my country, Ukraine. In the 192s and 194s, my relatives escaped the totalitarian red regime in the USA.
@@berko9608 Ukraine as a state has existed only since 1992, before that it had always been part of Russia. The USA de facto sponsored the Third Reich right up to the middle of 1943. The USSR, even before the outbreak of World War II, offered France and Great Britain to make an anti-Hitler coalition, but they refused and continued to sponsor Germany and its army, as well as the United Kingdom and the United States sold eastern Europe to Germany.
@@wertushka2715 You cheap russian beggar troll. Don't bore me with your copy-pastes from the bot farm manuals. Shut up. Adding you to my ignore list. I regret that your dirty USSR did not collapse 10-20-30 years earlier.
The world's fastest armed aircraft. It could fly at a speed of 3000 km/h and reach an altitude of 24000 m. All of this was to intercept the SR-71 Black Bird in the sky, but I don't know if they ever met.
It was indeed produced to keep out the SR-71 but was designed to go against the B-70 Valkarie Mach 3 bomber that was in design and testing phase in the early 60s. They also were worried about the B-58 Hustler Mach 2 bomber
The Smerch fire control system was expected to have full lookdown capability, encompassing the destruction of targets travelling at a speed of 500- 4,500km/h at altitudes between 50m and 35,000m. A joint automatic data exchange system for receiving data on various targets and commands from command posts and transferring it to other aircraft was also part of the design.
Like everything soviet/russian, its great on paper. MIG-25 turned out to be a huge relief for the west once they got their hands on one and figured that is in nowhere near as capable as they thought.
@@CH-pv2rz It is the only soviet plane with positive kill ratio (technically the flanker has a positive one too, but sample size is very small). Take it however you wan't, but the aircraft definitely performed very well.
The only plane that the west had that could truly fly out of the Foxbat's reach was the space shuttle. SR-71s and U-2s had to be gone before the Foxbats showed up, or make sneak peaks over neutral airspace.
All overflights of the Soviet Union were ended after Francis Gary Powers U-2 flight was downed on May 1st 1960 by SA-2s. After that the US no longer flew into Russian airspace as the Russians had taken a stance it would be an act of war if they did. So it was irrelevant the SR-71 could not be intercepted, because it could be tracked when close enough to a powerful search radar and no one wanted to start WW3... Besides Satellites replaced it and still give better coverage than an SR-71 ever could.
SR-71 served in the Air Force for 25 years. Filmed 100,000 square miles in one hour. It also collected electronic data such as radar frequency which was used to develop jamming devices
MIG-25 radar was ok but not good enough to shoot down a SR-71 because it could maneuver better than a bomber. SR-71 was above 70 000 ft and cruise at 2000 to 2100 mph. If Mig-25 got above Mach 2.8 it was killing the engines and struggling to get anywhere near the Blackbird
My favorite aircraft, Mig 25 the fastest aircraft in the world, i remember it when it did effective attacks by Iraqi airforce during the gulf war against the Iranian army In 1980s, respect for this part of great Soviet engineering ... the fox bat.
Perhaps I should not say it. Indians had it and it was used for recce purposes over Pakistan. Once a naughty pilot opened the afterburner over Islamabad, crossing mach 2,many windows were broken, but this winner came back safely.
@@CH-pv2rz it can go mach 3.2, but if you did it for too long you could damage engines. 2.8 you could do safely. If you needed a quick exit you could push it to 3.2 for 15 minutes.
Just don't push it past Mach 2.8 or you toast your engines. It Victor Belenko a Mig-25 Foxbat driver said they were regulated to Mach 2.8 no faster. The Mig-25 Foxbat clocked over the Sinai Peninsula at Mach 3.2 landed in Cairo with the engines toasted (burnt up) and had to have them replaced. Mach 3+ was emergency intercept speed only. Still one of the fastest planes in the world along with the Mig-31 Foxhound and Suhkio Su-27 Flanker.
МИГ 25- единственный и неповторимый перехватчик со скоростью 3.5 маха поставленный на вооружение СССР, для перехвата ракет и самолётов разведчиков вероятного противника времён холодной войны произвел действительно переворот в мировой военной авиации.... Слава СССР...!!!!!!
Поколение мечтателей, сильных ЛЮДЕЙ если хотите. Сейчас человечество гниет само в себе. Мы - поколение понтов и продаванов. Как люди мы по сути своей мертвы.
@@kcimb 1) Not much. 2) they are not racing - Mig's speed is needed to get into position to launch a missile. And missile will get SR-71 like it or not
