even at that altitude it’s still slower than 11.0 flogger
Mig-25 is barely able to go mach1 at sea level without missiles

So, lets say its sat out 30k ft, which according to that chart means it will be cruising around at about Mach 1.6.
What at +/- 1 of 11.0 can catch it? Heck, even at 12.0, maybe the F-15A?
If it were to dive down to fire a missile then pull back up again, would it suddenly become subsonic and stay slow enough to be caught?
If someone was stupid enough to sit at sea level in a Mig-25, then yes, they deserve to get shot down, but Im still not seeing why aircraft without CMs or maybe even RWRs should be facing something that can fire long ranged SARH missiles from high alt at speeds nothing can catch it?
Anyone know if the Iraqi Mig25pd combat employment manual are declassified? I mean the regime that used them no longer exists, so idk how that works. Also its from the 80’s?
60
how can a Regime that stopped existing declassify stuff?
Zipang when?
Kinda my point? Idk where that sits legally. In the U.S. I can just download it and share it all i want. but I know the forums are finicky about documentation and for good reason.
do you now see why I think this aircraft isnt fit for the game?
its sort of a Maus Problem
Put it too low and nothing can Catch it, put it high enough to get caught and itll be the Easiest pray in the game

the Soviet Union Ceased existence too, but you cant just go get Soviet Archives stuff either so Id say its complicated and wed need definite proof of declassification
I forgot how Gigantic that MiG is
Exactly, and given the choice? Id chose higher
then 13.0 it is
so F-15E can catch it
Well that’s more what I was referring to. While I don’t think gaijin really cares neccesarily if its been declassified in say iraq, as much as it would be in russia or ukraine. Pretty much everything about the Mig25 is known now though anyway, Most of it was learned before the soviet union even fell.
and also be quite inconsequential
That would make sense then, as they’re from a similar era. Makes you wonder why they’d go to a less capable system on the Mig31 then, because the early Mig 31 only had 18.
that doesnt mean we can use those Still classified sources
yea lol, huge brick go mach 3
