Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat Aircraft Family
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 was a Soviet twin-engine high-speed aircraft family developed to intercept high-altitude threats and conduct reconnaissance at extreme speed. Its large airframe, powerful radar, and Mach 2.83 performance made it one of the most consequential Cold War aircraft, while the MiG-25R/RB reconnaissance variants extended the family into strategic imaging and electronic intelligence. Soviet exports and later service across Iraq, Syria, Algeria, Libya, and other air forces gave the Foxbat a global operational footprint.
