Do we even know what bands are available to whatever seeker(s) it has available?
As if the faithfully modeled I don’t think it would be able to even detect many of the Tactical radar’s That it would see as threats. Also considering that it far outranges missiles like the Shrike and Standard-ARM It’s probably not going to be very useful as most relevant targets would be outside the band of the seekers, and the excessive range means it doesn’t really have a direct Western counterpart in any relevant respect.
Also, as the sheet is somewhat depreciated, the AGM-78 B / -C /-D cover E through I / J bands as per
What I know is that it can guide to Osa radar.
You are 100% right, I have just seen a cockpit picture of it. It looks like the BM has an optical sight for the R-60 missiles.
I will have them delete my RBSh suggestion and I will rewrite it to focus on the BM.

Here is wrote about bands where it operates. According to this sources 1.2 - 11 GHz so it goes to J-band (as mentioned Osa radar).
MiG-25BM suggestion has been posted for consideration. Thank you for your sources.
I have asked them to delete my RBSh pending suggestion.

It should be probably same as on MiG-23. Only bigger diameter and power probably.
Thing is that MiG-23 radar is currently modeled absolutely wrong in game and should be manually be able to change radar mode based on the manual.
Thank you that you made suggestion on this wonderful machine. :)
The MiG-25 has always been one of my favorite aircraft and it will be nice to have it in a bomber/SEAD version. Hope that it will be approved soon as possible.
I’m gonna kms if it turns out to be like mig23, what is the point of look down shoot down capability being limited to 1.5 - 2km when your avg altitude is 6km in mig25.
What does ones pitch and altitude has to do with mti anyways, checking wiki they don’t matter much. It’s some of the blind speeds which limits the MTI
Maybe it was changed to higher altitude. Would be good to check manual but I dont have any.
Back to MiG-25BM. This can be ideal position for MiG-25BM. BR is only placeholder value (I really dont know what BR it should be).

Uhrmmm actually, 1.6% of the MiG-23Ms produced carried the KDS-23 dispensers, lol
Technically they had the KDS-23s, but the ML/MLA definitely never had the BVP-50-60 CM dispensers.
Iraq did some funky conversions like giving their MLAs ASO-2 dispensers and I think Su-24 dispensers lol

They carried? Good to know.
I have good news. This is for MiG-23 radar Sapphire-23 report. According to manual it have switch which allow use MTI in higher altitude. As Sapphire-25 from MiG-25PD is based on MiG-23 radar (but bigger and stronger) so it should be same way.

I checked wiki, it says 25pd used uplse doppler not mti.
This is also strengthened by reports that ussr took the pulse doppler technology from f4j jets captured in vietnam
Unable to find where i read the f4j being captured in vietnam by soviets for mig25 radar. It can be helpfull in this case

I read it as well but I dont think that version with F-4J is correct.

It could be f4e late with PD then?
I mean that missile seekers RGS-25 (R-40RD) was developed from RGS-24 (R-24R) so MiG-25 must use radar which is technologically close to MiG-23 one. Thats why I think that F-4 version is not very probable.
