Mikoyan MiG-25 foxbat, chasing SR-71 blackbird

Just adding some little fact, why MiG-25 will never ever ever touched the SR-71
- As many of you knows very well, MiG's Tumansky R-15B turbojets are redlined at mach 2.8, while the SR-71, with its Pratt & whitney J58 'turbojet-with-compressor-bleed-bypass' is capable of sustained mach 3+ flight
- And service ceiling of MiG-25 is far below service ceiling of SR-71 (as far as 5200 m if carrying four missiles), so diving to gain some airspeed is impossible
- MiG's Smerch-A radar has enormous power that enough to 'burn' through enemy bombers jamming system, But i'm not sure it can burn through SR-71's jamming system

i will add more as soon as i have more info!

Mig-29,you made mistake.no one dare to challenge sr-71 in term of speed.

~Rajaahsani Mar 20, 2013

It's MiG-25 and obviously not MiG-29. MiG-29 does not have ventral fins and wing fences, also intake of MiG-29 located under the fuselage, not on side

Technically, the Mig-25 might have been able to catch the Blackbird but at that speed the Migs engines tended to explode

~Rajaahsani Jan 1, 2013

Even if MiG-25 can somehow outspeed SR-71, its service ceiling still far below SR-71's ceiling...

nice!

~Rajaahsani Jun 28, 2012

And also SR-71 can fly 5200m higher than MiG

~ZeroRM Jun 28, 2012

Good luck; SR-71 still has about a third of the speed of sound on that thing, AND it's a Stealth Aircraft, so radar-guided missiles wouldn't be the best idea.

You're also forgetting that the MiG-25, while it can fly Mach 3, the actual top speed is Mach 2.8. The SR-71 can fly at Mach 3.2 for hours.

~ZeroRM Aug 26, 2012

Exactly my point; the MiG would have a hard-time intercepting the Blackbird unless it somehow got really close, or above it to gain speed while diving.
