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
For some reason also Sapphire-23 is called as pulse-doppler.

It will be both MTI as 25 was developed from 23.

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.
Mig 25 uses inverse monopulse coded radar, so its definately a bit different. Other than that, pulse doppler is just basicly filter, all you need is that your radar needs to be able to identify the shift in frequency due to doppler effect

Don’t have all missiles from the R-40R inverse monopulse seeker? I read that RGS-24 was inverse monopulse as well.
Maybe they used filter technology from F-4J. I can’t confirm or deny this, but we should expect it to be similar in characteristics to the Sapphire-23 radar as it was based on that (but better). It would be ideal if we could find a manual for it, just like for the Sapphire-23.

I understood the P and RB models, I’ll add these as sources to their respective suggestions, however what is the middle one? Called Type 02B?
For the record, I got PD and BM pending.

I am not sure about that but maybe this?
The RBV is recon and strike right?
What does that say? I have basic Russian knowledge but I can’t read this language
