GGTharos Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 What does it say? That the US engineered an aircraft that could fly a long-range reconaissance mission at M3.2 non-stop, while aircraft that were supposed to give it chase routinely failed to intercept it? Do you know that both forces use similar aerodynamics on their planes, depending on specifications handed down from the air forces? Do you think that the avionics are not part of engineering?

So I'm sure that the Mig-25/31 could not effectively interrcept the SR-71. P.S. I expect GG to come in with a chart of the R-33's performance data in 3....2....1.... 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teknetinium Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 In my opinion the Mig-25 overheating solution was something over the normal engineering, Much cheaper and good response for their economic capability. Americans thoth that Russians would never have the money, and they were right. But Russian enginers solved it whit what they had.

Teknetinium Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) F-35 has superior avionics compere to any Russian bird at the moment, But F-35s V-STOL solution comes from Yak-141 engineers. F-15 has same air-dynamic schema as the Mig-25 not the black bird. When Russians where making cobras in the air and bells. American engineers were scratching their heads.

Pilotasso Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 In my opinion Russians been batter enginers while Americans been better programmers.. Good example is Mig-25/Mig-31 compere to Blackbird. I think that says it all. lol whut??? :huh: The the engines powering the blackbird were hybrid turbojet/ramjet, the first of its kind and the plane CRUISED at mach 3.2 and not limited to mach 3 max or mach 2.8 safe limit like the migs. The Mig-25 never caught it. Turns out the Americans retired the A-12 variant early due to cuts. Ever heard of this one? Also did you know that until recently Russian engines MTBO was down to 500 hours while the western engines were at 2000-5000? And they had more thrust when comparing their sizes. I think you need either read more or ask instead of claiming right away what your clearly lack in knowledge.

Teknetinium Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) The F-15C's aerodynamics share some commonality with the MiG-25's, but the MiG-25 is a 5g aircraft with no real dogfighting provisions IIRC. The F-15C was designed as a single-seat fighter from the ground-up. The MiG-25 compromised everything for speed to intercept. Oh, what a bunch of BS :) The Su-27 uses the same aerodynamics package as the F-18A in amny respects. The choice of particular instability for the hornet is likely different from the Su-27 for whatever reasons the designers decided it was necessary, which is why you do not see it performing cobras. You probably still wouldn't want to get in a scissors with an -18, even if you're in a flanker. LOL again, Russians made it better 10 years earlier, F-18 is not as fast as Su-27 and F-15 is not as maneuverable :) PLZ stop be such narrow about it. There is something that Russian birds have that Americans dont, so simple is that, then what is more effective to have is another story, witch dont belong to this discussion Edited August 18, 2010 by Teknetinium 51st PVO Discord SATAC YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something that russian birds have that Americans dont so somple is that, then what is more effective to have is anothere story. It may be more maneuverable but does for e.g. the cobra have any real usage (apart from being a nice air-show maneuver)? Nope. There was an interview with some USAF pilots and they are were on the same opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teknetinium Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Nothing Pilotasso, But economy have, Su-25 engines are from Mig-21 so you have to do what is available for you, there fore I recall Russian engineering and problem solving much more effective then American. 51st PVO Discord SATAC YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nscode Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 MiG-25s might have tried to intercept Blackbirds, but that was never their primary role, nor the reason for their existance. 2,8 and even 3,5 simply isn't enough to intercept a target at 3,2. Heck, even 4,5 won't cut it if the other guy is going to turn around once you are airborn (and what other thing is the poor unarmed guy going to do?). Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Mig-25's never were used to their design objective: to intercept the B-70 Valkyrie. So they were used to intercept other aircraft and as a recce platform. They were mostly effective for psychological warfare too. That until Victor Belenko defected.

GGTharos Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I don't know, was it a successful mach 3+ jet, or just under mach 3 successful jet? A lot of things were said about the MiG-25's speed, one of them being that you cannot exceed 2.8M without some problems. The MiG-25 was of steel construction, which made it heavy. It was g-limited from the get-go, a 5g airframe. You tell me what it told them. Back in those days, the MiG-25 was the boogeyman. And they discovered.. what? That you don't need THAT much titanium to build a succesfull Mach3+ jet? That a jet that spends most of the time at Mach2+ is G limited (which isn't)? That the 10 year-old aircraft is outdated?

nscode Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 You can go at 2,8 as long as there's fuel, and you can make excursions to above that, but you need to know the time limit. It was G-limeted, but so-what? You ain't gonna do loops at that speed. Mostly that their intel sux? :) Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
