Mikoyan MiG-25, NATO codename: Fox Bat. A high altitude high speed interceptor developed by the Mikoyan in the late 1960s, it was the first fighter in the world to fly at speeds above Mach 3. The aircraft, a prototype, flew for the first time in 1964 and began equipping troops in 1969. The MiG-25, which is heavily made of stainless steel and designed to emphasize high altitude and high speed, has broken several world records for speed and altitude, it's one of only three manned aircraft in the world to fly through the thermal barrier M2.5, the other two being the U.S. SR-71 and the Russian MiG-31.
