A high-speed, high-altitude "interceptor":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interceptor_aircraft designed by the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau in the 1960s to counter the threat of [[xb-70|fast, high-flying intruders]]. The [b]MiG-25[/b] (NATO reporting name [b]'Foxbat'[/b]) is a large, heavy [[aircraft]] built mainly around its two massive turbojets. Recognition features include a long ogival radome, a small, streamlined canopy, rectangular air intakes, twin vertical fins, sharply raked tailplanes, and the presence of small ventral fins near the engine exhaust. Armament consists only of two to four R-40/AA-6 'Acrid' air-to-air missiles. Despite its low maneuverability and primitive avionics is still considered the highest flying and fastest [[fighter jet]] ever built. h4.
