Indian Mig-25 Break Sound Barrier over Islamabad

Indian Mig-25 Break Sound Barrier over Islamabad
In May 1997, 102 Squadron “Trisonics” of Indian Air Force Mig-25 reconnaisance aircraft made headlines after it was detected in Pakistani Airspace.

An Indian Force (IAF) Mikoyan MiG-25RB Foxbat-B reconnaissance aircraft created a furore when the pilot flew faster than Mach 2.8 over Islamabad following a reconnaissance mission into Pakistan airspace.

The Foxbat broke the sound barrier while flying at an altitude of around 65,000 feet over Islamabad, otherwise the mission would have remained covert at least to the general public.

The sonic boom was heard through most of Islamabad and created quite a ripple
The Pakistan Government considered the breaking of the sound barrier as deliberate act to rub it in the faces of the Pakistani generals that they had no aircraft in its inventory which can match the Foxbat's cruising speed and height of 75,000 feet.

However, from one of Pakistani air force’s Forward Operating Bases, radar traced the intruder and the F-16 As scrambled,
Sources in the PAF said that there was no need to intercept a plane flying at the altitude of 65,000 feet
as the Falcons restricted by their service ceiling of just 55,000 feet were no match to the Foxbat and never caught up to it, by which time the Foxbat was 125km away even at its cruise speed and safely in Indian airspace.

Correction: Mig-25 could have flown comfortably at 90, 000 feet, too. In fact, a Russian pilot named Alexander Fedotov, flew in it at 125, 000+ feet once, setting a world record.

No doubt it was the masterpiece of the time in 1990s Russia made upgrade version of the same aircraft as MIG 31 still it hasn't been beaten in speed & extremely high altitude.

IT IS SAID THAT OLD IS GOLD AND IT'S A TRUE AND I BELIEVE IT AND THAT'S ALL, THANK YOU.

This was like a big middle finger displayed in air.
People wanted to intercept it, but they were helpless.

A Foxbat once reached an altitude of 114, 00 feet in about 4 and a half minutes which is awesome. Then it did the record height of 123, 520 feet!

[bobbyfischer]

It was a Legend in it's time. Just unbelievable piece of technology at the time 🔥🔥🔥

[shrikanthvhshri]

As an aviation aspirant... To be prompt..
I love and I appreciate the Design of Mig 25 Fox bat, there was a time when Pentagon pants became wet by Listening the name of Fox bat.
It was very accurate with brilliant avionics . Sonic raises tension in Pentagon

[mohammadzisankhan]

That's the quality of Russian gas turbines RB ENGINES

[somadityasohini]

Really no ever jet still 2019 have mach 3.1 mach speed and missile of mach 4 joke, ,,, Mig 25 can easily operate in 125k feet with mach speed of 2.8 max mach 3 as it's a exo-atmospheric warfare

[RizwanKhan_]

has has k pait mein dard hugya omg great story

[lastperfectman]

Why IAF retire this? This is shitty things. I pray to God that it would back to service

[INDIANEMPIREREBORN]

but still mig25 has to retired only because of the outdated avionics and no rader india should have somehow done something to save the 1st hypersonic plane in India's pocession

[somadityasohini]

What is the background music name plz tell me... 🙏🙏🙏❤❤😊😊

[silvermix]

Truth is we need new mig 25 know it hard to make right now but they should try regardless of how much money it take this type of fighter jets can go inside Pakistan and come back it's not like they have any missile which can match his speed

[somadityasohini]

Plz tell me the full details of the music background plz
