The [[Mikoyan-Gurevich]] '''MiG-25''' "Foxbat" is a [[Soviet]] high-speed high-altitude interceptor which was probably designed to intercept the [[B-70 Valkyrie]]. It is fast--the fastest operational fighter in the world--but extremely unmaneuverable.  When first introduced, it caused great anxiety among [[NATO]] analysts, who initially over-estimated its capabilities.  The need to counter the new fighter led to the development of the [[F-15 Eagle]].
