[Que valait le MiG-25 ?]

 

 

Je n'ai jamais vue se camouflage

 

 

C'est la version BM ou RBM du Mig-25, spécialisé dans le SEAD:

 

MiG-25BM №37 from Lipetsk Air Force CEPRC. 

 

 

 

* Along with the interceptor and reconnaissance variants, the Soviets developed a "suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD)" variant of the MiG-25. The idea had actually been around since before the first flight of any Foxbat prototype, embodied in a "Ye-155K" proposal, to eventually emerge as the "MiG-25BM" (NATO Foxbat-F).

The USSR did not like the "up close and personal" approach of American "Wild Weasel" defense suppression aircraft and decided to adopt a "standoff" approach. The Foxbat-F was equipped with a sophisticated Yaguar (Jaguar) "radar homing and warning system (RHAWS)", in a nose with 20 centimeter (8 inch) extension plug and dielectric panels for receiving antennas on the sides. The MiG-25BM carried a total of four Kh-58 (NATO AS-11 Kilter) antiradar missiles (ARMs) on its wing pylons. The Kh-58 had a range of more than 48 kilometers (30 miles), and was the first operational Soviet ARM that could be carried by a fighter-class aircraft.
