MiG-25 Foxbat History: The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 (Foxbat) is a very high-speed interceptor and reconnaisance/bomber aircraft designed by the Soviet Union's Russian airplane company, Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau. In fact, the MiG-25 Foxbat is the world's fastest fighter aircraft. By the time the US bomber was cancelled, the Russians were loath to cancel the project and thought that a fast interceptor would always be useful and could be used as a reconnaisance platform as well In 1964, the MiG-25 was first flown as a prototype and it entered service in 1970. It has a top-speed of Mach 3.2, a powerful radar and four air-to-air missiles. The development of the MiG-25 began in the 1950s. With the first Mach 2 aircraft beginning to enter service, Mach 3 seemed like the next logical step. Four MiG-25Rs were temporarily in service with Egyptian Air Force in 1971 under the cover designation of X-500. All four had EAF markings. They flew over Israel in pairs roughly 20 times. The Israeli Air Force found it impossible to intercept them, eventhough Israeli intelligence knew when the overflights were scheduled. The MiG-25Rs went back home in 1972, though reconnaisance Foxbats weere sent back to Egypt in October 1973, after the Yom Kippur War, and remained there in 1974. The Israeli Air Force did not have the capability to intercept MiG-25 downed an Israeli F-15 in 1981. The MiG-25 was in service with the Iraqi Air Force during the Iran-Iraq War, but its combat results are unclear. The MiG-25 Foxbat is now being replaced by the MiG-31 Foxhound, but is used a little in other countries.
