MiG-25 Foxbat

The MiG-25 is actually a very good aircraft, capable of reaching extremely high speeds, and carrying very decent air to air  weapons. The reason why this aircraft is so seemingly ineffective is due to the poor combat training of the pilots who have flown the aircraft in conflicts around the world. Even pilots in the former Soviet Union were to poorly trained to take full advantage of this aircraft which was technologically advanced for its time.
