you're an edgy anti-patriot who would deny anything just to seem special. Besides seriously look at the two planes side by side. Then check their stats. similar weights, similar speeds and altitude limits, similar deseign and engines. The mig-25 was an awesome plane, if anything it explains why dem americans didn't want us having such a good plane.

I'm an edgy anti patriot because I don't think the mig 25 was a stolen Canadian design for no discernible reason.

You're a paranoid fag.

Just because somebody else wanted to create a high-speed interceptor doesn't mean they stole the idea, please tell me you're not that utterly retarded.

The weights aren't even remotely the same, the Mig 25 weighs like half the Arrow does.

Besides, if you knew a bit more about the Mig 25 it had it's own engineering and material peculiarities. Specifically pertaining to it's welded construction which made it particularly vulnerable so that it could remain lighter and accelerate faster.

Seriously, don't be a stupid fag. If being a patriot means being an ignorant fuck, I'm glad I'm not by your definition.

>>554184397
The mig 25 could also only maintain 80,000 feet for 2 minutes and could only maintain those for slightly longer before the engines melted themselves. Mach 3.2 was recon version, mach 2.8 was combat version

Yup. German high command made some blunders with their land emphasis.

>>554182843
Decent plane other then the fact that its engines would kill themselves if you flew at high speed for almost any amount of time the controls inside where so scatted that it was hard to reach for things it couldn't turn for shit also you could barely see out of the thing they only could keep the wings swept forward when taking off and landing cause of tearing sises missiles would fall off if you turned to hard and its combat radius was 186 miles..

But it had a pretty good auto pilot so its got that going for it?


>>554184245
The mig 25 could only sustain mac 3.2 at 82000 feet for 2 min before it burn out its engines..

Mmm, whereas the blackbird will vomit fuel everywhere when not cruising at supersonic speeds, because it was designed for the body to expand under friction created heat. Both are very purpose built planes, but the blackbird is like the american pride and joy for some reason, whereas the mig was russian welded cheap to replace interceptor. which was a good thing probably considering...

I think people are missing the point. The blackbird was totally over-engineered, just so that it could set that world speed record. It was an awesome reconnaissance aircraft to be sure, but i dunno it doesn't impress me all that much considering how much went into it.

It's the ultimate hot rod aircraft. A speed machine built with one purpose: to fuck over and embarrass Reds, which it did with uncontested superiority for decades.

They even had an interceptor version ready to go. Know why it wasn't built? Because the USSR had no high speed surveillance aircraft of its own worth countering. Eagles and Tomcats did the job perfectly fine, so a mach 3.5 interceptor carrying a nuclear-warhead-tipped radar missile wasn't necessary.

The flying wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark

the mig 25 was made of nickel steel not titanium, therefore much heavier than the sr-71, and did not even close to match its top speed, the reason some think the top speed of the mig is 3+ is because an unmanned russian surveillance plane traveling at mach 3.1 was thought to be a mig thatd gone missing on US radar over the arctic. the actual top speed of a mig is mach 2.6

>>554186097
but.... why not? that would have been so cool.

>>554186076
>The blackbird was totally over-engineered

You don't even know what those words means, you autistic slavic subhuman.

The SR-71 was one of the most precisely engineered and purpose built machines on the planet. It was not 'over engineered', it was perfectly engineered to exceed that capabilities of USSR manufacturing.

Go weep over Stalins grave and felate the cast of his microcock you keep in your front pocket.

well actually the mig 25 did exactly what it was meant to do too. It was a cheap mass-produced short range intercepter, the cheapest part of which was the pilot. If it crashed ot fell apart in mid-air, just get another one and put a barely trained potato farmer in it, good to go.

The SR-71 is a marvel of engendering, also it can sustain it's speed where as the MiG-25 will perm entry damage it's engines. Plus the SR-71 had an incredibly small radar cross section, and the fact they didn't have computers to design it is amazing.

so many buttons, is the one with yellow/black stripes around it the self-destruction button?

Also, are the standards higher for civil aircraft pilot compare to military pilots?

I'm actually not sure what that does... Not fuel dump as thats located on the fuel panel on the overhead. Not fire bottle discharge or RAT extension... no fucking idea.

The standards are completely different. I would say both groups of pilots excel at their jobs equally well. They just both do completely different shit.

Only America follows the "don't engage under 1000 meter" rule.

After the Cold War, it was proven in files taken by Soviet defector Valery Mitrokhin (google "Mitrokhin Archive") that the Russians had a spy at Avro Canada in the 50s and they had indeed stolen blueprints for the Arrow, which later influenced the design for the Mig-25.
