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, \u003cem\u003eFoxbat Tales\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive operational and combat history of the MiG-25.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spoken Realms","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49369463980336,"sku":"BDenl5","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49369464013104,"sku":"ZEenl5","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49369464078640,"sku":"ZMenl5","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/154425-enl5-Square.jpg?v=1734630424","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-enl5","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
