The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 "Foxbat" is a Soviet high-speed high-altitude interceptor which was probably designed to intercept the B-70 Valykrie. It is fast--the fastest operational fighter in the world--but extremely unmaneuverable.
Western operators have discovered five versions:
The A is the first version.
The B is a reconnaissance version.
The C is a training version.
The D is a modified reconnaissance version.
The E is the current interceptor.
Design
The aircraft has a bubble canopy, and the wings are high on the fuselage. The twin engines are equipped with dual exhaust.
