Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
As the Cold War grew in intensity in the 1950s, and the very first Mach 2 aircraft were produced, Mach 3 was the subsequent objective. In the USSR, the MiG design bureau was given the task of developing the Soviet Union's response to the perceived threat from U.S. Mach 3 developments. The result was the MiG-25 'Foxbat', which very first flew in the spring of 1964 and entered frontline squadron service six years later.
In the West, the aircraft's true capabilities were only fully discovered in 1976 when a Russian pilot defected with his aircraft to Japan. The aircraft was returned after the Americans had closely examined it. A total of 1,190 MiG-25s were built for service with the Soviet Union's air force and those of Algeria, Bulgaria, India, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Libya, Syria, and Turkmenistan. A small number remain in service.
This latest 'Red Star' title examines the history, development, and operational career of the MiG-25 both with the air forces of the Soviet Union and in those countries to which the aircraft was exported. It includes a superb range of illustrations and line drawings that supplement the author's well-informed text to provide a detailed analysis of one of the most potent aircraft of the Cold War era.
