As for MiG-25 - that jet was never intended to be used in fighter role. Basicaly MiG-25 & MiG-31 are dedicated high-altitude bomber/spy intersceptors.

yup! quite a nice plane, first to have the 'holy' supercruise ability.

and just to add to what longbow said, i remember reading that the Mig-25 was introduced to counter the high speed / high altitude XB-70 Valkyrie.

It is an SR-91 Aurora. The plane doesn't officially exist, so there aren't any real pictures of it, although there is a lot of data that suggests it does.

Pretty sure it didn't have supercruise, as that is the ability to go supersonic in mil power (no afterburner). May very well have been the first UK jet to go supersonic in level flight, though.

According to wiki it was even the first jet to achieve supercruise. We all know we can't trust wiki for shit, but this is prolly true. And I remember hearing bout that some time ago, perhaps i'll look it up.

this website has some good info on the plane. The plane didnt have a standard designation the way an 'F-18' does, just refferec to as the BAC/English Electric Lightning. The designations were things like P.1 (prototype), F.1, etc.

this page backs up the supercruise ability of the prototype lightnings: http://www.ukmaag.co.uk/aircraft/lightn … tning.html
