Quality wiseit is one of the best fighters to have ever flown.. the so called unreliability is due to defective spares.

The MiG 25 has been retired because spy satellites do a far better job of what it was supposed to do. There is no connection between the MiG 21 and the MiG 25 except the MiG acronym. Rang de Basanti does not come into the picture in this case (pun not intended). The IAF possessed a maximum of 8 MiG 25s. A huge lot less than the MiG 21, the mainstay of the IAF's fleet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
