That works just as well, 90% of them are pepegas and don’t turn off the burner so no amount of flares saves them.
Go for any reversals if they dip down behind you

tbh with you, can’t really fight a Capable MiG-25 Pilot in your Kfir at all

only 9g? shoot rear aspect, should have the same result.
This takes time to learn but luring people out of their altitude advantage really helps at all BRs, for high tier being below 60m above the ground blocks radar missiles meaning they will be forced to get closer for an IR missile

you can’t outclimb or out speed a MiG-25
you have to force it to stay low low, preferably below 1000m
and then you have to force it into a Dogfight to get behind him
I mean i am yet to die to one but ive bagged several in a hawk 200

tbh i think on my level of skill i can only dogfight su25 or su39 on my kfir canard
don’t Underestimate yourself
in that Kfir without radar you have the Element of surprise on your hand if you flank them
as long as they don’t know that you’re there you have quite a chance
if you’re already fighting him, tbh, you can at best make his missiles miss

for jets with Radar Missiles like the F4E the world looks much different because then you can start to Exploit the RWR Deadzone right below the MiG but your Kfir doesn’t have that

Mirage 3 being the parent airframe isn’t that great to start compared with some aircraft.
Your strengths are any turning engagements. As well as good zoom climb performance.
Stay low and let them go over the top of you.
You should then engage full burner and at 1.0 Mach pull up into a straight vertical climb and fire from beneath them and slightly astern.
If they see you and the missile they will have to take evasive action resulting in the drop of after burner and a defensive turn.
DO NOT FOLLOW THEM INTO THE FIRST TURN.
You must secure the altitude advantage here so continue to climb until you are a few thousand feet above them this allows you to go nose low and out accelerate them if they try run.

Definitely not. at altitude the mig25 is much better

No worries it’s just about putting yourself into a position where you can negate the opponents advantage.

can i noch the mig25 or its a bad idea if i want to play high alttud?
You can but the missile has IOG meaning it knows where you where heading so you have to notch and chaff then change direction
It’s also got long range IR missiles

the 25 in mig 25 stands for the number of buisness days it takes to turn so if one is low alt against you its pretty much cooked
eh not really
if you drop your speed to 600-800km/h in the MiG you turn good enough for most engagements
but the Pilots gotta know that to abuse it
