Just a point: After Belenko turned away from his formation, he dropped his attitude whilst on route to japan. Flying extremely low to avoid japanese radar. Just as he was almost out of fuel, he saw an airport which is hakodate airport. on first landing, he almost hit a Boeing 727 airliner which was departing. He circled 3 times before landing at the airport
I remember what a huge deal it was when it happened. Belenko became famous in the US overnight. Nice parking job there, Cap. Better than most people in cars!
Hey Cap, You're desire to see a real Mig-25 or the 31 reminded me of my first close encounter with a Mig-29 at Farnborough airshow back in '88. I was at Bisley for the military shooting competition there. Our boss, asked us if we wanted to go to Farnborough for a few hours. I was one of those that said yes. We entered via a 'side gate' in our clapped out Land Rover 110 spewing fumes, and pulled up in the parking area for the Mig-29. We spoke to the pilot and he allowed us to get really close to it. I walked around it and ran my hand over the large rivets, amazed that it could fly so well when it looked like it was built like a tank. We watched the display, and some other aircraft, and then buggered off. I had an idea of how significant that time was, but not as much as I rate the experience now, with older eyes. We were all very lucky, and thanks to our boss 'Tackleberry,' as we called him, I got to experience that. Yep, the likeness between him and the guy who played the part of Tackleberry in the Police Academy films was more than looks, he was nuts about 'guns' too.
If you ever get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend reading MiG Pilot. It's Belenko's story written by John Barron and an immensely good read. The story of his defection and the fallout afterward is fascinating.
Great video as usual, Reapers! The actual story of Belenko was fascinating. The book that was written by John Barron ("MIG Pilot") is out-of-print now I think... I remember reading it as teenager in the 1980s. Some of your younger viewers probably would enjoy the story and insight to the USSR, Russian Air Forces and Communist Party. It was a very different world.
I giggled all the way through. Can't get much better than that. Cap not knowing who was President of the USSR at the time especially, until someone had to tell him. 🤣🤣🤣
The issue with your reenactment is that it is a little off. In your reenactment, you shot up to the stratosphere which is very fuel friendly. Belenko actually flew "below radar" until he was out of Russian airspace which is how he burned up all of his fuel just before landing in Japan. According to the BBC, he flew around 100 ft to avoid Russian (and Japanese) radar. www.bbc.com/future/article/20160905-the-pilot-who-stole-a-secret-soviet-fighter-jet
2 × Soloviev D-30F6 afterburning turbofan engines, 93 kN (21,000 lbf) thrust each dry, 152 kN (34,000 lbf) with afterburner. The MiG-31 can reach Mach 2.83 at 70,000 ft with a maximum of 84,000. But with a modern look-down shoot-down radar and missiles capable of snap-up interception it doesn't really need the same performance as a MiG-25. Because the MiG-25 was designed to shoot down the XB-70 Valkrie.
@@grimreapers - Although the MiG-25 set records for speed and altitude it's performance is pretty similar to the MiG-31. Mach 2.83 at 68,000 ft with four missiles and 79.000 with two.
The Foxbat is a Soviet copy of the legendary Avro Arrow... but the Foxhound is an improved version of the Foxbat, with modern electronics and variable inlets, so the engines don't become overworked/over-stressed. But personally... I rather have the Ye-112 business jet. Cruising Mach 2.35 at 70k-ft for 2200-mi. sounds like a good way to vacay with the family! =;)
My favorite one would be the 25, specifically the pr model in your thumnail. The high speed of the 25 made it a very useful tool in the pr role. Also i read somwhere that many 25s were not built to the same standard as the fastest, with some substituing steel or aluminimum for titanium.
The MiG-25, the Soviet Union's version of the "all missile" fighter. You don't need to see outside, the ground controller will vector you to the imperialist enemy target. Да здравствует Четвертый Интернационал, товарищ!
We thought the MIG-25 was super maneuverable lol thank God for the USSR keeping it under wraps and we got the F15. Once the F15 came out and we got our hands on the Mig-25 the USSR went 'OH FUCK' and we went 'OH HELL YEAH!'! Completely tipped the scales to the USA.
Always have wanted to get into DCS but war thunder has been my calling since 2014. Hopefully when I can get a more powerful rig I can finally dip my toes into it. Currently on a laptop with a 2060 and 8Gs of ram so perfect for the games I play.
I’ve used this mod it makes the mig-25 mig-31 look like a joke it cant even reach 2000kmh with a payload when it was clocking going 3100kmh in the Middle East with full payload cool Reskin of the mig-29 that’s it
They were actually built as interceptors in response to the russians discovering the plans for the xb-70 valkyrie, and not the sr-71...as far as the visibility, they had a hell of a time creating a canopy that would disintegrate at mach 3, and over 120,000 feet msl..mach three was a little optimistic though because anything over 2.8mach, caused permenant damage to the engines.
It's highly doubtful if the Mig could have ever caught the SR-71. Even today it would be very hard. By the time the SR-71 was picked up on radar, a plane scrambled and climbed to altitude the SR would be hundreds of miles away. In a tail race the SR was going to win every time. The Sr cruised at speeds the Mig could only get to in short bursts using it's afterburner. The official speed of the SR was listed as almost 2200 miles per hour. It likely could even do better than that. It also had the strange phenomena of using less fuel the faster it went.
Not really a phenomena, it was engineered to do so. The SR-71's speed was limited by the inlet cones btw. It was designed for mach 3.2. Going too much over it could cause an engine Unstart and destroy the plane
I hate it when inconsiderate parkers take up two slots. I just hope the ANP recognition cameras got your number as you entered the car park. Expect a letter demanding 800Yen (falling to 600Yen if you pay within 14 days) from the National Airport Parking Company of Japan. Or perhaps you could offer them a pair of used Foxbats in part-ex.
1100 knots @ 60,000 ft is over mach 3 because the speed of sound gets lower as altitude increases. At 60,000 ft, mach 1 is only around 300 knots. So you guys doing 1100 knots @ 60,000 is like mach 3.9 or thereabouts.
The Soviet/Russian attitude indicator shows the aircraft in relation to the horizon, while the western one shows the horizon in relation to the aircraft. When it comes to the HUD, the western one is much more intuitive, so using the ADI on the dash may be more helpful. I only got used to the Russian style once I started doing IFR flying in the Mig-21, disregarding all outside references and only watching the ADI.
@@thelmaviaduct I posted a reply with a link to an image, but it looks like TH-cam removed it. Look up "Soviet ADI" on Google images, and there's a comparison which should help you understand why the bank angle is doubled. Use the plane itself as the point of reference for bank angle, instead of what you see outside the canopy.
NATO feared the mig 25 upon discovering it , we rushed the program that would be the f15 in order to have a competitor to its climb rate . after the defector we dismissed it as useless but it was an amazing aircraft , it had more radar, better missiles and it was faster than any fighter we had and surprisingly held its own (probably) shooting down an f15 in a 2v2 battle in Desert storm. and in the Israeli middle east wars was used as a spy plane and the F-4 could not touch it

Cap why would you think cats and dogs abilty to look up would be different?? They both had common ancestors and dogs actually came down out of the trees after the cats did, dogs just chose not to return like cats did. There's a documentary series on there evolutionary tracks called "The Velvet Claw"
Nother one for the list: Can an blackbird put gears down at Mach 3 over Groom to slow down? True story. (A-12) *Must be done over groom coming from the north.
Size of the exhaust doesn’t really coincide with the bypass ratio. You could have a massive jet engine with actually no bypass around the jet engine core at all. I believe most fighters don’t bypass any air and are just turbo jets.
I've read that they were R-15 engines, initially designed for a massive cruise missile, and that the throttle settings were essentially "On", "Full Blast", and "Off", and that the engines would literally melt if kept at full blast for too long....
Lol CAP I would have never known that was a MIG 31 model and not a MIG 25 until you said something. I can't really tell the difference and honestly I always mix it up and think it was the 31 he got away with. Aesthetically speaking I'm usually not much of a MIG guy either. They have a few beauties but what makes them so sexy in general is just the raw power, no frills, screw everything but performance attitude. In soviet Russia pilot accommodations were more like plane accommodations by the pilots lol 🤣
Yeah, Belenko defected in a MiG 25 and Mitchell Gant stole a MiG31 under the nose of the Russians., with the help of King George III and Charles Poldark.
Cap: “We don’t need no water, let the mother ____ burn. Burn mother _____ burn.” Cap: “sorry everyone. I’ve had about 4 hours with children today”. Me: “My God you let kids listen to Bloodhound Gang-Fire, Water, Burn”?
you guys should do a could Israel survive a first strike from the Arab coalition (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, etc) and use Skuds for Palestines attack. Not sure if they have an iron dome mod tho, the patriot system should work in place for it.
So while it was technically capable of catching and shooting down an sr-71 the problem would be getting a proper intercept vector since at the speed the start-71 is going even a fraction of a degree or a minor error in the calculation of speed could be a hundred mile off by the time you reach the projected intercept
Because SR-71 stopped flying other USSR after the introduction of MiG-25 into service. So you can say Foxbat killed the Blackbird project just by existing.
you ALMOST fooled me with your map of RUSSIA and JAPAN, but one thing gave you away. Russia is WEST of Japan, not East. I'm a pesky kid but you almost got away with it.

Yeah, we could do like “war crime Wednesday” and see how many apartment buildings a mig 29 can destroy.

So if it was capable of taking down the SR-71, why did every attempt fail?
He said the only plane back then that could catch it was the SR-71, he didn't say the Mig-25 was good at killing SRs.
So while it was technically capable of catching and shooting down an sr-71 the problem would be getting a proper intercept vector since at the speed the start-71 is going even a fraction of a degree or a minor error in the calculation of speed could be a hundred mile off by the time you reach the projected intercept
The mig 25 apparenrly grounded the sr71, a few times the mig came "too close"
But by then spysats was a thing
Because SR-71 stopped flying other USSR after the introduction of MiG-25 into service. So you can say Foxbat killed the Blackbird project just by existing.
