I've seen Moscow. There's nothing there really.

Mig-25 is an interceptor. It wasn't designed for dogfight, but to quickly approach your bomber or reconnaissance aircraft and shot it down from a long range. And it's still the fastest combat airplane (3M), which holds world records for altitude, speed and climb-up rate.Originally posted by Joseph
When you guys had the Mig-25, we were told that it would take out any thing we had. So Congress authorize the money to build the F-14 and F-15. Of course after your pilot flew one to Japan, we found out the plane was fast, but could not dogfight. I think the military already knew that, but they wanted the F-14 and 15, so they kept the mouth shut.
I mean, your military surely knew that Mig-25 can't dogfight well, 'cause it wasn't even designed for close combat, the plane is pure interseptor. But F-14 and F-15 are not counterparts of Mig-25. They are different planes designed for different purposes (first one is naval, second is multy-role).Comment

My favorite picture of Moscow:
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

I thought this was the dear leader:
One of your "allies"."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961

Sometimes I wonder where you get all of your pictures.

Until they flew combat missions against the Luftwaffe, anyway. Or the Finnish air force, which had a better kill ratio against the Red Air Force than the Luftwaffe did, IIRC.Soviets made planes that actully flew.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche
