I don’t have the numbers on it, but the missile was built like a SAM, it’s the biggest A2A missile ever made I believe, and it was designed to be launched high and fast, it may well get 10-20km range even in chase in the right conditions but that’s just personal speculation

MiG-25s take a whole map to get to the speed that it is known for. They also simply cant break mach on deck and takes a whole map to turn.

Something I realised is the fallacies of a Mach 3 capable fighter Vs a Mach 3 capable bomber. It doesn’t matter how fast the missile can go it matters whether it can sustain those speeds. And for a high altitude fighter that means that the rocket motor is very weak. Relatively speaking. Maybe a ΔV of 500ms^-1 and then a sustainer for the rest of the journey.

Accelerating from M3 and sustaining speeds of M4+ must require a great deal of thrust to do, there is a reason this thing is so big it’s got to have a hefty rocket motor and a lot of propellant

Hope that includes Chinese su30’s too haha
Me too, I’m hoping they go in the attacker line though, the two fighter lines are already really cramped, and I want my J-11B
bro typhoon is more advanced than this lol

in 1991, when the US started Operation Desert Storm, an Iraqi (mig-25) pilot flummoxed the US pilots as his MiG-25 shot down an American F/A-18 Hornet after a dogfight
