it was a modified pre-production aircraft lol, just like the Streak Eagle. think before saying stuff.
it also had upgraded engines that were meant for the MiG-25M
The only thing that was modified is the engines, which makes it significantly different from streak eagle that was pretty much stripped out of most avionics to make it as light as possible. Another thing is that E-155M reached Mach 3 with missiles strapped to it, there is no information about top spead of it with a clean wing.
On an interesting note, MiG-25RB reached 1680 kph IAS in a shallow dive from 17km during an accident in 1990. Pilot forgot to connect oxygen and lost consciousness while climbing to 20km altitude. Airframe destroyed itself at around 8-9km of altitude at this IAS.
Did the pilot survive
No, sadly. Search group discovered him by accident, he was still in the ejection seat.
Who left the door open for him to enter our sacred Flankers thread?..

Best feeling in the world, seeing our Su30SM2s steamrolling Raviolis as if they weren’t so imposing anymore.

Counterpoint - interceptor. Gaijin haven’t put a single interceptor in a tech tree, outside of 2 MiG-21s glued together in Chinese tech tree
