Historical and Technical Information

The MiG-25 RU is a two-seat version of the legendary MiG-25 interceptor fighters, specially developed for training purposes in the Soviet Union. This aircraft was heavily used from the late 1960s through the Cold War era. The MiG-25 was renowned for its incredible speed and operational altitude. The RU variant was developed to train MiG-25 interceptor pilots (NATO designation: Foxbat), and ICM’s choice of the two-seat configuration allows you to recreate aircraft from Soviet aviation schools and air force units, including bases in the north of the USSR and Eastern Europe.
