Rating: MiG-25 and MiG-31 - one of the fastest aircraft

115
The portal Business Insider has published a list of the fastest aircraft ever to fly into the sky, reports RIA News.



Some of these machines are no longer in operation, but their design and characteristics have had a significant impact on the development of design ideas in the aircraft industry.

The fastest Soviet aircraft edition called the MiG-25. “Foxbat (NATO codification) is a third-generation supersonic interceptor fighter developed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau. Its maximum speed without missiles on board can reach more than 3400 km / h, but in operation the speed of the aircraft is limited to 3000 km / h, ”writes BI.

"The United States recognized that the MiG-25 is a highly maneuverable fighter, whose increased air mobility is largely due to the size of its wings," the portal notes.

Another aircraft from the list of BI - MiG-31. According to him, "Foxhound is a fourth-generation supersonic long-range interceptor fighter that can reach speeds up to 2600 km / h without rockets." “The Soviet MiG-1981, commissioned in 31, is still one of the fastest fighters in stories and continues to be in service with the Russian and Kazakh armies, ”experts write.

The rating also includes an “experimental E-152 interceptor fighter, based on the interception complexes of which the MiG-25 was created, which developed a maximum speed over 3000 km / h.”

However, the “X-15 experimental rocket-gliding aircraft equipped with rocket engines was recognized to be the fastest aircraft: on October 3 1967, pilot Joe Walker on X-15 set an unofficial height record (107,96 km) and maximum speed 7274 km / h.

The list also includes the XB-70 "Valkyrie" strategic bomber (3300 km / h), McDonnell-Douglas F-4 "Phantom" II interceptor (2369 km / h), the single-engine single-interceptor Conver F-106 "Delta Dart" ( 2454 km / h), experimental Bell X-2 (3000 km / h) and Lockheed ST-71 Blackbird (3540 km / h) ”.

    Unlike the experimental American X-15, our MiG-25 and MiG-31 are real. It is a pity that Belenko surpassed the MiG-25 ... Judah.

          I was impressed by the video where the MiG-25 rose to a height of more than 30 km, into the stratosphere. Outwardly, it looked as if the MiG was in outer space good ! As far as I know, the 25th record was set for the maximum flight ceiling (I do not remember exactly 38 or 39 km), which is still not broken.

            In the process of testing and refinement, several world aviation records were set. In the FAI documents, the record car passed under the E-266 code with R-266 engines. Even after completion of the tests and the beginning of serial construction in 1969, prototypes of the machine continued to be used, including to achieve new records.
            On August 21, 1977, test pilot A. Fedotov set the absolute world record for a flight altitude of 37 m on this machine, and a total of 650 world records were set on this type of aircraft.
            This is a record of flight altitude and today for aircraft with a turbojet engine.
            Only Americans flew higher on the North American X-15 and SpaceShipOne, but these are not planes, but experimental rocket planes.

        And T - 50, than to you, actually, not a nest egg? In all cases, it promises to be multifunctional, and some modification of it, apparently, will not only be able to replace the MiG - 31 at the combat post, but also overshadow its fame.

        But apparently, it seems to me, these planes will carry on joint service for a long time ...

            MiG-25 is a legendary aircraft! This interceptor went through almost all major conflicts of the second half of the 20th century, from the Arab-Israeli wars and conflicts to the Iraqi-Iranian war and the Gulf War. The victims of the MiG-25 aces include such famous American fighters as the F-5, F-4, F / A-18 and, according to a number of Syrian sources, even the F-15. The 25th is also known for being able to completely fly over Israeli airspace several times, while each time managing to avoid attacks from Mirage III and F-4 Phantom fighters, as well as Hawk air defense systems.

                  In 1981, when there was a shelling between the link of the Israeli F-15 and the link of the Syrian MiG-25. According to a number of sources, there were losses not only in the MiGs but also in the F-15 in that battle. Forgive me the Israeli comrade-forum users laughing , but there’s even a slightly muddy video of the crash of a downed plane, the silhouettes of which very much resemble the F-15.

                    Wildly sorry, but - You are not confusing anything? I will not say for sure about the case you are describing - but the MiG-25 was intended specifically for high-altitude interception, and not air combat, in which I did not feel very confident - unlike the MiG-23, for example. In the Soviet army, the MiG-25 served, as far as I know, exclusively in air defense aviation. The element of the MiG-25 is speed: in practice, it could rise almost like a rocket, confidently accelerating at an angle of attack of 45 degrees to 3000 km / h! At the same time, an air battle with a fighter involves subsonic or transonic speeds - otherwise the battle participants will simply lose sight of each other smile And at these speeds, the 25th is not the best option for aerobatics.

                      No, I don't! You are right, the purpose of the MiG-25 is, of course, different, but it was even used as a bomber (although when it was created, it was not part of its mission to perform strike missions), not to mention its frequent participation in air battles, including close combat distances (where it was much inferior to light maneuverable fighters such as the American F-5 "Freedom Fighter").

                        Well .. that means the plane fell into the wrong hands, and was busy with its own business - there is nothing to be surprised about the losses ..
                        My school classmate flew them. He admired all the time, but in a special way: he said that the plane "keeps it ready all the time", you can relax only after taxiing into the parking lot. Aerodynamic quality at the ground is equivalent to that of an ax - and the slightest error in piloting could lead to an accident.

                Here on Wikipedia there is a description of these events. How far is it from the truth? request However, there are links to sources, as well as descriptions of the participation of MitG-25 in other conflicts.
                https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D0%93-25
                On February 13, 1981, the Syrian MiG-4 took off to intercept two Israeli scouts RF-25C. As the interceptor approached, the Phantoms turned back and used electronic warfare equipment. A minute later, due to a cloud of interference in the area of ​​the lower hemisphere, an F-15 fighter appeared (the MiG-25 had limitations in detection in the lower hemisphere). At this moment, the Syrian pilot received strong noise interference on the radio and he did not hear the command from the ground to the lapel. At the oncoming approach from a distance of 25 kilometers, the F-15 launched the AIM-7F rocket and shot down the MiG-25. So happened the first counter-missile attack in the history of air wars.
                On July 29, 1981, demonstrative flights were already performed by a single F-15, the other two were located out of sight of the Syrian radar. The “upper” F-15 was triggered by a pair of Syrian MiG-21s, at which time the MiG-25 pair went into an ambush - in the shaded area of ​​the Hokai military-industrial complex. F-15 "pecked" at a fake call. "Twenty-fifths" began to go into position for attack. However, the F-15, without changing course, suddenly switched to a decline, dragging the MiG-25 along with it. Opponents collided with each other, their marks on the screen merged, and then disappeared. Syrian pilot catapulted. The Syrian TsKP ordered the second MiG-25 to come closer to two other Needles. The Syrian captured one target at 25 km, launched the first missile at 18 km, the second missile at 11 km (on-board controls during decryption confirmed the hit of the first missile). Israeli pilot catapulted over the sea. Patrol boats picked up a life jacket and a bag of signaling equipment stored in the ejection seat. Israeli data loss is not confirmed. Soviet military expert V. Babich reports that after this successful battle, the Syrian command took the MiG-25 beyond the scope of military operations, explaining that there were no goals for them.
                On August 31, 1982, Israel stated that the calculation of the Hawk air defense missile system had been shot down by the Syrian MiG-25RB, but Syria had no flight-friendly reconnaissance MiG-1982RB until the end of 25; There is information about the loss of a double MiG-25 that day (possibly MiG-25U).
                Syrian MiG-25s regularly made reconnaissance flights on the border and over Israeli territory in the 90s. They also drove away Israeli fighters, which periodically flew over the Syrian border.

              The T-50 has many problems, and as an interceptor it is inferior to the MiG-31, it cannot fully replace the MiG-31, the MiG team is developing a normal interceptor to replace the MiG-31, which is not covered by PR and speculation and does not devour the entire budget of the country. MiG-1.44 could fulfill the tasks of our high-speed interceptors, but it was hacked, so we have what we have, a Su-35 with an over-the-horizon radar, but with medium-range missiles and T-50, Sushki cannot replace the MiG-31, because they simply do not have such machines and, judging by the current models, they cannot create without ruining the country. But Mikoyan may have decades of experience and many conflicts behind him.

                1.44 as well as the T-50 do not claim the laurels of the MiG 31, because they do not reach the speed and range. Such a task was not set. As in fact, the MiG 31 does not replace the Su 27 and MiG 29. The T-50 will have a decent radar, superior to the MiG 31, and on the Sukhoi they test long-range air-to-air missiles, in range comparable to the weapons of the MiG 31. This means that the weapons complex will be worked out in the near future it will remain to make a glider and an engine. If the very idea of ​​a long-range interceptor does not change, then the problem will probably be solved. We have all the necessary technologies.

              You have to be realistic, do you at least know why our purchases of many types of weapons failed and what put an end to the development of the Navy? All the money was invested in the creation of the T-50, Su-34, Su-35, Superjet, MS-21 and on the horizon a wide-bodied. These projects cost the country many tens of billions of greens. With this money, it was possible to develop and build a couple of aircraft carriers, a dozen destroyers and several hundred Su-30SM and MiG-29M / M2, restore production of the MiG-31, and now we simply do not have the money to purchase sufficient Su-30SM and MiG-29M / M2, although war is knocking on us. By and large, so far there is nothing to be proud of, we have planes that are feverishly looking for a niche for combat use, they have been promoted, built production lines, but they do not really understand what they have created and what it is for. The Su-35 has fuel tanks with a capacity of 11 tons, an airborne radar with a viewing range of 430 km, but the maximum launch range of its missiles is 70 km .. Its normal take-off weight is 25 tons, while the dry weight of the aircraft is almost 20 tons., that means four tons of fuel are poured into it and a ton of weapons are suspended, do you think this is normal? In this case, it is a MiG-29-9.12 in its class, with good flight data, but which will run out of fuel very quickly; if intercepted, if it manages to shoot down an enemy fighter, then there will not be enough fuel to continue the battle or return home. and it costs 120 million greens (this is a niche of cheap light, medium fighters), and the quantitative superiority of the West in fighters is terrible, more than five times and they have much more modern weapons.

            Good evening, Sergey Ivanovich. Glad to see you in good health.
            The question of the "stash" ... In the American media, as well as the military, they are very seriously discussing our work on the new interceptor. And not at the level of gossip, but exactly how it takes place. Our military and people who are silent on the topic and this is understandable. Work on the MIG-41 is underway, is it really a "stash" since the times of the USSR. Moreover, the Americans have voiced the speed characteristics of this aircraft - Mach 4,5. I'm not sure that these are still technologies that were developed in the USSR.

                  Work on hypersonic aircraft in the USSR began in the early 50's. Of course, there were no real aircraft then - but already in the 60s a very detailed picture of the processes in the ramjet and the actual flight parameters, including speed ones, was compiled. And then nobody just thought about hypersound for missiles: the task was to create precisely a manned aircraft. It is only relatively recently that they began to talk about hypersonic missiles, as a possible alternative to ballistic.
                  In the USSR, as far as I know, test flights of vehicles with ramjet engines were also carried out. Then it was "Sov. Secret", I don't think that anything has changed now.

New coatings can reduce air resistance and, accordingly, reduce overall fuel consumption, new materials, such as titanium, composites, which we have, can really make the construction easier, well, new weapons and electronics can make the plane an even more formidable fighter of the sky and now a new MIG .. .

        A bit incomplete information. SR-71 aircraft of a different class and level.
        Only the SR-71 could perform all the time in high supersonic flight. Active cooling of the body with fuel in flight. Complex coating and sealing of tanks only after supersonic heating, special fuel. All this required complex maintenance and a special hangar.

        It is impossible to fully compare the flight characteristics of the MIG-25/31 with the SR-71. Migi reached high speed only for a short time, because for a long time the structure did not allow overheating.

            And the story of "Drozd" is like this, a mnoooooo text:
            In the winter of 1965-66 the SR-71 program suffered its first loss: on January 25, a third experienced intelligence officer crashed. Due to a failure of the air intake control system, the aircraft ... January 10, 1966 had to write off the first prototype SR-71 ... all six tire wheels of the main landing gear burst simultaneously . Wheel disks, carving sheaves of sparks, were crossed out along the runway, wheel hubs made of magnesium alloy ignited from sparks. The plane stopped only when it slipped the entire runway and the nose landing gear was buried in the ground of a dried lake ... In the summer of 1966, the fifth prototype “took off” on takeoff: like in the January case, the wheel hubs caught fire from sparks, and then the plane itself . Another serious accident occurred on April 13, 1967: SR-71 with tail number “17” crashed near Las Vegas, both crew members (officers of the 9th wing) successfully ejected. The reason was again related to the operation of the power plant. On November 25, 1967, the 16th constructed aircraft, also piloted by the Air Force crew, crashed in Nevada. The crew in the night flight incorrectly read the indications of the horizon and lost orientation in space. The last accident during flight tests occurred on December 18, 1969 ... The cause of the clap or explosion remained unclear. The likely cause of the disaster, most likely again associated with the operation of the air intake. By the end of 1967, Lockheed delivered the last, 31st ordered SR-71 scout to the Air Force; their production line was mothballed. Perhaps this was not worth doing, as a series of disasters and incidents with scouts continued. Basically, planes piloted by combatant pilots “crashed” (by this time the SR-71 was already in service with the 9th strategic reconnaissance air wing). Training SR-71B crashed on January 11, 1968. An experienced pilot, commander of the 99th squadron, took the cadet on his third reconnaissance flight. Already on the way home, the generator failed; the battery allowed the aircraft systems to work for 30 minutes, but this was not enough - SR crashed 12 kilometers north of the base. Aircraft No. 11 was damaged July 29, 1968 from a fire of the right engine, which occurred in flight at a speed of M = 2,88 and an altitude of 29 m. An experienced pilot noticed a burning warning light in time, immediately turned off the engine and managed to return to the airfield. In October 732, tire covers burst on take-off, pieces of a disk pierced the fuel tank, and a fire started. Uncontrolled aircraft rolled out of the strip, the crew ejected, but only the operator managed to survive. April 1968, 11 another fire - on the fifth SR-1969. All three of these aircraft had to be written off ... Finally, on June 71, 17, the SR-1970 collided with the KC-71Q tanker over the state of New Mexico, the scout crashed, and Boeing managed to hobble to its base.

            Well then, depending on what courses to intercept and at what range. Theoretically, the MIG-25 was not so easy to intercept the thrush. The speeds are about the same. The maximum speed of the thrush is greater, and the time is much longer.

            Yes, I do not compare them. Of course, the meaning of the existence of Droz disappeared with the MIG-25, and the development of air defense.

But it was he who stood at the origins of the famous Mercedes-Daimler-Benz company, it was Lutskiy who made the first motor for the company and even, for some time, the company was called Daimler-Lutsk, but the Germans quickly threw the name of the glorious Russian engineer out of the name and his memory turned out to be erased.

        And how many interesting ideas were taken abroad and patented from just reading our magazines: Young Technician, Model Designer, Youth Technique and so on, and after all, we printed everything regardless of the fact that someone was making money and laughing above us. But the main thing in life is not money, but development, intellect, knowledge, and whoever does not possess it parasitizes on smart people.
        It is clear that Kulibins come across also abroad, but on average the Slavic peoples, Arias, and so on (white race) are a cut above the other pure races (IMHO) in this aspect. Even the language spoken by the people matters. But do not belittle other races (this already smells of fascism) because each race has something higher and something lower in development. And all together create humanity strong precisely by the variety of races and their abilities.
        You can even put 100500 minuses, but if you do not see the obvious, then this is degradation and stupidity, bias.
        After all, we are spiritually higher than the all-knowing and all-intellectual west, and spirituality is higher than ingenuity and is it not the source of all ideas and rationality, ethics, humanity?

Plus, of course, problems with materials at the speed limit, in particular, the vaunted America smuggled Soviet titanium for the construction of the SR-71 (Blackbird). One devil after reaching the maximum speed, the airframe was irreversibly deformed, but our engineers coped with this problem, both with advanced titanium processing technology and with steel ...

          Please note that all any combat aircraft have a speed of no more than 2,5M, because their design based on aluminum alloys does not withstand such a design. load at speed more than 2,5M - and the MiG-25 (31) is titanium-steel (titanium no more than 17%, in my opinion). Speed ​​is limited by "flashlight" and rubber products.

    It was rumored that reconnaissance aircraft MiG-25RB (reconnaissance version with powerful A-70 cameras) flew over the FRG and France with impunity in the 70s. The fighters did not catch up with them, the Hawk missiles had height restrictions, and the Nike-Hercules had restrictions on the angular velocity of escort. To all notes of protest, TASS is authorized to declare that Soviet aircraft did not violate French airspace. Probably, the planes took off from air bases in Algeria and the GDR.
    When flying at large numbers of M, the DC generators were cooled with an alcohol-water mixture (50% water). The flow rate seems to be 100 l / min.
    The harmful consequences of the use of this technique in the Air Force were very serious. Some "techies" got drunk in a matter of months.
    Specific fuel consumption (from memory) MiG-25 vs F-4 - 2,36 vs 0,78. So the plane has earned the nickname "kerosene fighter" for a reason.
    However, in general, these disadvantages are not significant, so the overall rating of the aircraft is "outstanding".

      ... But there was another wonderful person in the Mikoyanov family: aircraft designer Artem Mikoyan. Its heavy interceptor, the MiG-25, became the most coveted aircraft in the Air Force and Air Defense Aviation. Depending on the modification, they were poured into the cooling and anti-icing systems up to 290 liters of alcohol and alcohol-water mixture. The generators cooled, a lot of alcohol was consumed by the jamming station.
      (i.e. consumption of alcohol mixture 100 l / min - an error !!!)

      It is curious that this MiG was created to intercept the promising American Valkyrie bomber, but the Americans did not create the Valkyrie. The super-fast MiG had practically no worthy target, but it was still accepted into service. From 1967 and 1985, 1100 MiG-25s were assembled at the Gorky aircraft plant.

      It was possible to save alcohol ("awl", "massandra", "sword", etc.) in flight and drink on the ground. But modern aircraft are almost "non-alcoholic".

From the beginning of the 80s, they also drove the Mig-31 there - he intercepted them. True, you yourself understand, for this he does not need to come close at all. In addition, when flying along the border, the SR-71 was constantly accompanied by ground-based air defense systems, and the S-200 were ready to fire in case of violation of the border. Each span of the SR-71 is a combat alert with all the consequences.
      And they took them out of service because they had exhausted their resources - they did it in the 60s, by the 90s the resource had run out, in 98 they had been taken out of service.
