Quite possibly I don't know much. BTW, this speed translates to Mach 3.5, which you should not be surprised about. A little googling can help with this.
.
I am not sure if I am talking to a person who wishes to engage in discussion or a fan boy who neither knows nothing, nor wants to know anything for it works against his perception of being invincible.Lol
Please read that article again.It was a reconniassance plane .The main purpose of such aircrafts are to collect required important datas of sensitive installation.Speed is an advantage there is no question about that especially at this level of altitude (75000 ft) .That is why US deployed SR 71 when they hands got burned due to U 2.
Americans was meant for a stealth SR 71 but got only partial success .They compensated that demerits by increasing its speed.And it was 100% succcess.Even Soviets best SAM systems couldnt shot sown that Aircraft.
Don't say that ... or else someone here might say it was "Dalit" jet and Pakistan let it go unharmed for that very reason.Untouchable Jet...
HQ-1 = SA-2; HQ-2 is in a different league.
that missile have an celling of 25,000.... mig is flying at 23,000... it is very difficult to intercept mig 25 with that missile.
Can't you check before opening a thread?-In May (1997), an Indian Air Force (IAF) Mikoyan MiG-25RB Foxbat-B Reconnaissance aircraft created a furore when the pilot flew faster than Mach 2 over Pakistani territory following a reconnaissance mission into Pakistan airspace. The Foxbat broke the sound barrier while flying at an altitude of around 65,000 feet, otherwise the mission would have remained cover, at least to the general public. The Pakistani Government considered the breaking of sound barrier as deliberate to make the point that Pakistani Airforce (PAF) has no aircraft in its inventory which can come close to the cruising height of MiG-25 ( up to 74,000 feet ).

The Ruler of Stratosphere: A story of FOXBAT pilot
This is one of the rare pic of any MiG-25 Foxbat pilot. He belongs to the IAF No.102 ''The Trisonic'' squadron. Generally Foxbat pilots' identity kept secret because of the top secret mission they flew overenemy lines, which makes them kind of the ''007 Agent of Air Force''.The No.102 Trisonic squadron is one of the first squadron to fly MiG-25other than Russia. It flew several photographic mission over China andPakistan in late 80s. To be a Foxbat pilot kind of requires excellent flight record and most no of sorties with highest experience in your group. Only with a rank of Wing Commander officers were allowed for MiG-25 Pilot training. Not all the pilots get to fly the Foxbat beast.Only the best of the best with maximum experience are choose for this. Ofcourse it's necessary, because most Foxbat mission requires flying at75000ft and taking photographs at that altitude without being completely knocked-out due to GLOC is not a nutcase opening job.Although now this ''Beast of stratosphere'' is retired and sitting at Palam museum, till now only 42pilots
of IAF are officially certified to fly aFoxbat-B. MiG-25 Garuda is one of the top secret plane IAF has ever had. It's jealously guarded and the pilots were never allowed to talk about theirmission or machine in the public...even now. It's reported that the Trishul air base has Foxbats capable of flying over 85000ft.
''Although those machines have been retired, because they became obsolete due to intensive use of satellites and drones...still I miss those mean machines. Those are darned good days.''---
Indian Aerospace/Defense News: The Story of IAF MiG-25 over Islamabad
actually you can't shoot down Mig-25... just sit down and watch...
well my bad, good thing atleast you are proud of Individual scores..... and you ignores end ...
and your point??? what kinda crap you come up with???? such a non sense... you are making fun of dead??? grow up...
Soviet full face helmets were also used by our MIG-21 FL pilots in 60s & 70s.Soviet full face helmets....
The end of 1965 war was indeed a glorious chapter for PAF and otherwise.
It was an appropriate answer to your ridiculous claim of so called ''untouchable''......i called it a tragedy, how does that count as making fun......go first learn some English before indulging into point scoring. !!
