you know i was watching yt yesterday and evertime i see a early acceces content creater to the mig25, they all have 62 cms. sure its not final model but it got 60 while some got 30 ?
They have currently 64 small calibre flares because Gaijin gave it 2x ASO-2. Irl they never used them. Irl they used 2x KDS-155 same as MiG-23MLD what is together 60 large calibre flares.

These can’t be countermeasures. Otherwise this would mean another MiG-25 that is not a PD got them.
@WalletWorrier get your buns down here asap and check it out. What he has in the video is not a PD for sure. Looks like an RB model. Need your opinion.
@csla1972 you as well
To me this does not look like countermeasures:

This schematic shows a MiG-25PD with a single flare dispenser. Gaijin might have used this as reference.
I hope they fix this, as flare dispenser are far more bulky than a regular wing fence. This creates uneven aerodynamic resistance per wing. I am fairly confident this is a mistake.
After a brief amount of digging this should be an RBS but I’ll double check in the morning
Guys support my bug reports!

Flares. Report CMs.
the flight manuals that I have don’t mention them, do you have one that does?
Just historic photographs for now. Photographs show them mounted on both sides of the aircraft.
@csla1972 need some help here.
Also can’t support the Mach limit. Soviet jets could easily exceed what was written on paper.
MiG-23 being one of em.

that’s fine, as in game planes are modeled based off the safety limits and not what was achieved IRL.
I have only photographs and secondary sources but all are consistent in this and list KDS-155 (60 large caliber flares - 30 on every wing)…it also fits with the photos. ASO-2 is non-existent on this plane. No mentions, no photos.

Gents, I did some calculations with A.I on the topic of SR 71 interception feasibility by a MiG-25, based on all data I have in this suggestion, after numerous recalculations and corrections this is the result I got. An interception of an SR 71 by a MiG-25PD was possible under very specific conditions.
