but the mig-25 wasn't bad, it was just americans being retards and having wild fantasies about it based on a few photos and not knowing what the fuck it was. it's also the only jet i'm aware of that faced off against the "unkillable" f15 and won, shooting at least one down with zero mig-25 lost in the encounter, although the americans will fiercely deny this (samurra air battle)
