2. INTRODUCTION
• The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 (NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a
supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft that was among
the fastest military aircraft to enter service.
• It was designed by the Soviet Union's Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau.
• The first prototype flew in 1964, and the aircraft entered into service
in 1970.
• It has a top speed of Mach 2.83, and features a powerful radar and
four air-to-air missiles.

4. DESIGN
• The MiG-25 is a twin-finned, high-wing monoplane with slightly
swept wings and a variable-angle tail plane.
• To improve the aircraft's longitudinal stability, and to avert stall at
steep angles and subsonic speed, there are two shallow upper-
surface fences on each wing.
• The high-wing monoplane configuration together with lateral air
intakes have the effect of reducing the loss of aerodynamic efficiency
resulting from wing-fuselage interference.

7. AVIONICS
• The MiG-25 is fitted with electronic equipment including: Smerch-
A2 radar sight (Nato codename Fox Fire); Identification Friend or
Foe (IFF) transponder; aircraft responder to maintain
communications with guidance and landing radars operating in
active radio-location mode; and radar warning receiver.
• The flight control and navigation equipment includes ARK-10
automatic radio compass, RV-4 radio altimeter and Polyot-11
navigation-landing system.

10. ENGINE
• The aircraft is powered by two R-15B-300 single-shaft turbojets,
arranged in the tail section of the fuselage.
• The engines develop 11,200kgf of thrust with fully selected
afterburner.
• The engines provide a maximum speed of 3,000km/hour at high
altitude.
• The range at altitudes between 9-11km with speed of Mach 0.85 is
1,950km.
