MiG-25 'Foxbat'
Development/History
Design of the Ye-155P supersonic high-altitude interceptor started in 1959. The design was intended to deal with US nuclear bombers attacking at high speed/high altitudes, but eventually a look-down/shoot-down capability. The same basic design was also used to meet a requirement for a reconnaissance aircraft which was designated Ye-155R. The latter was the first to fly on 6 Mach 1964 followed by the Ye-155P on 9 September 1964.
