From among this lineup of new fighters and interceptors stood the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25-purportedly capable of outrunning and outmaneuvering any aircraft in NATO's inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet even before its public appearance in Moscow, the MiG-25 had been a grave concern for Western analysts. Indeed, this new interceptor could fly at speeds in excess of Mach 3 and cruise at altitudes heretofore deemed unreachable for a tactical fighter. Moreover, NATO's intelligence community was baffled by how the Soviet Union had cobbled together such a \"masterpiece\" of modern engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reality, however, was that this \"interceptor\" was a poorly designed airframe with an oversized motor. Although it excelled as a reconnaissance aircraft, it fared poorly as a dogfighter - and it was typically the loser when pitted against Western aircraft like the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Sinai Peninsula...to the Soviet-Afghan War...to Operation Desert Storm, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFoxbat Tales \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis the definitive operational and combat history of the MiG-25.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 31, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57288279654705,"sku":"9780999644355","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/Gc1xFBgqeS9780999644355.webp?v=1793742814","url":"https:\/\/www.welibooks.com\/products\/foxbat-tales-the-mig-25-in-combat-paperback","provider":"Welibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
