The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 (Russian: ?????? ? ??????? ???-25; NATO reporting name: Foxbat) is a supersonic interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft that is among the fastest military aircraft to enter service. Designed by the Soviet Union's Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau, it is an aircraft built primarily using stainless steel. It was to be the last plane designed by Mikhail Gurevich, before his retirement.
Due to the substantially improved combat capabilities of the MiG-25 seen in the MiG-25PD, MiG OKB took to the decision of upgrading all early production MiG-25Ps to the MiG-25PD standard.
Instead of the parabolic chute, it retained the older shorter conical-shaped housing. It also received the R-15BD-300 engines, a slight upgrade over the R-15B-300s.
