In 1989 the 49th Corps of Air Defence (Kyiv) was formed by combining the 9th, 11th and 19th AD divisions. The 49th was made up of numerous units with one unit being the 933rd Fighter Aviation Regiment AD (Dnipropetrovsk-Kaydaki Air Base). By the end of 1991 there were around 550 MiG-25PD and MiG-25PDS in what was former USSR territory. With this break-up of the Soviet Union Ukraine inherited 79 MiG-25s with 40 MiG-25PDS/PU going to the 933rd but this unit only lasted until 1996 when it was disbanded. Designed as a high-speed, high-altitude interceptor to counter the threat posed by the US XB-70 Valkyrie bomber, the MiG-25 was first flown on September 9th, 1964. The airframe was designed around a pair of massive Tumansky R-15(B) turbojet engines, capable of propelling it to a top speed of around Mach 3. The Foxbat is one of the fastest production aircraft to enter service. In addition to the interceptor variants, numerous reconnaisance variants were also produced. The MiG-25 has seen service with several air forces besides Russia including those of Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
