The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat is a Soviet high-speed interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft introduced in 1970, designed to counter emerging Western bombers and high-altitude threats. Constructed primarily from stainless steel to withstand the extreme temperatures generated at speeds exceeding Mach 2.8, it remains one of the fastest combat aircraft ever built. Although optimised for speed and altitude rather than agility, the MiG-25 proved to be a formidable interceptor and reconnaissance platform, earning a reputation for its immense performance and enduring Cold War significance.
