@Snowman88 That was my flight. Yes, I survived. Here you can see the complete flight from the start to the end. ruclips.net/video/n1zlqbSa5jU/видео.html
The highest current world absolute general aviation altitude record achieved by a manned air-breathing jet propelled aircraft is 37,650 meters (123,523 feet) set by Alexandr Fedotov, in a Mikoyan Gurevitch E-266M (MiG-25M), on 31 August 1977.
Complete right. Flight over 50000 ft or higher is extremely dangerous and pilot & passenger must be used space suits. In stratosphere if cab pressure loss, blood boiling in vessels and☠
On March 11, 2004 our boss flown very high. He reached 92,500 feet altitude with Mach 3,1 and was the highest flying civilian on board the legendary MIG-25 "Foxbat". It was the first video by us shared as RUclips was only a year old. Happy 10th anniversary!
MIG-25's sustainable top speed is Mach 2.83, it can reach + Mach 3 just for few minutes before it slows down to 2.83 to prevent engine damage .. As a fighter, it was totally insignificant, a clumsy Russian truck on two wings.
"As a fighter, it was totally insignificant, a clumsy Russian truck on two wings." Yeah right. That is why even obsolete export MiG-25 versions in Iraq managed to shot down F-18 and kick EF-111 out of its mission which caused one F-15 being shot down by S-75. And while MiG-25 even scored one F-15 itself, it overflew all enemy missiles even when they was launched at it in dozens. Only 2 MiG-25 ever been shot down over there, and it happened at relatively low attitude and speed. And please, do not even make me go into MiG-31.
Actually, while the Mig-25 had significant shortcomings, this was fully understood. It was designed as an interceptor, specifically for air superiority fighters and planes like the SR-71. Look at its rate of climb....almost 50,000 ft./min. [unloaded] was absolutely ridiculous in the 70s. It was heavy, inefficient, and overbuilt, but it is the definition of brute force. It deserves respect for that, in my opinion.
@@barracuda7018 -> When you don't know shit. "Sustainable speed is mach 2.83"-NO Except the Mig-25 isn't a fighter, it is an interceptor. Learn the difference
@ barracuda7018 It was an interceptor, not a fighter. Nothing can go for Mach 3 for very long. That’s why the SR-71 was only ever used over tiny nations. Fewer than 20% of its hours were over Mach 3 and it needed a week of maintenance between each flight. The Mig-25 was a very effective interceptor. It kept the skies over the USSR SR-71 free for decades, and got positive lock on the SR-71 numerous times.. just waiting for the American pilot to make a mistake and drift into Soviet airspace. It also made an awesome reconnaissance plane. It would dash at Mach 3 over the Sinai and Israel and not even the Israeli Air Force were able to shoot it down on those missions.
Those MiG 25's kick ass! correct me if I'm wrong, still one of the fastest fighter/attack aircraft ever made, not bomber or reconnaissance. top speed of around mach 3.2, 2435 mph at altitude, that's incredible! 4 times faster then a .45 caliber bullet! The Russian's sure make some awesome machines, not to say we don't, but those Sukhoi's, MiG's and Tupolev are great aircraft designers! To bad we can't get along with are old friends the Russian's...what a great team that would be...
This was the first video what we uploaded on RUclips in 2006. We shown first on the web a flight with the Russian MIG-25 "Foxbat" to the edge of space. Space Affairs's mission director reached 92,500 feet on this flight day and max speed was Mach 2,8! So, don't mention the lower quality, on our RUclips channel are also other high quality videos of this flight. Alway's flyin' high!
92500? i doubt it....the only way a mig might achieve that height would be a stripped down one in a surge climb... that clearly was not the jet or the technique shown...i call bullchit...
Jim Blalock Consider that we do not have a reason to talk about BS. The MIG-25 flown up to 2006 from Zuchowsky airfield nearby Moscow and I personally flown the jet twice. The capacity of the MIG-25 was more than 3 decades unknown. Of course we used jets without any weapon or radar system to get in this height, but the real capacities of the MIG-25 were more higher than anybody expected. World record holder of more than 137k feet and a lot of other records are speaking an own language. So please consider to investigate by your self before talking about that this is BS. Thank you.

As RUclips was nearby a year old in July 2006, we put the first of our own videos on and showed first time ever "ege of space flights" with the MIG-25 "Foxbat". This video influenced a lot of others to do the same. Parts of the video were copied and used in thousands of other videos around RUclips, also for commercial purposes. We are proud, that we started first with showing such adventures to share it with the public. We recognized especially in this case, that we must be good - because others copied us. And this not only on RUclips. ;)

*Stuart Hughes* The MiG 25 holds records for absolute height (123,520 feet). Also I believe it set a record climb to 80,000 feet in just over 3 minutes!!!!!
this guy is so lucky. he has his own mig 25 and can go into space whenever the hell he wants. but me, im just a freshman in highschool and i wish that i could just hop in a mig 25 and fly into space whenever. this video just relaxes me and lets me think about life. its a great video.
This was one of our first videos what we uploaded in August 2006 after RUclips was around one year old. We were first who shown flights out of the cockpit of a MIG-25 during Edge of Space Flights. In the following years, the footage of the video was thousands of times copied, re-edited and used on other social network platforms and anybody thought, the footage could be used by anybody. And not only normal fans used it, also TV stations and one guy from Australia who was up to fly as a space flight participant in 2007 to the ISS. He used the footage to present it like "This is my flight what I did in 2001". He never flown to the ISS, he sold his slot then to Charles Simonyi who flown 2 times to the International Space Station. We never claimed such copyright infringements on legal issues, sometimes we closed of course channels or let RUclips delete the videos on other sources. But in real, we were honored that the material was used by others, because nobody present such footage before! Now, this video is the second video what crossed the 1,000,000 views line on our RUclips channel! We are impressed, and thanks to all who liked our channel! More to come!
this is so well done! the music, the womans harmony is amazing when the mig is at it's highest! i can just imagine the silence and then the roar of the engines! stunning, very moving video! well done.
LOL - Foreign exchange pilots back in the day loved it! I heard one case of a Belguim pilot who used absolute maximum power on take off (despite being told that normal power was enough) and the aircraft ran away on him, he found himself at quite an altitude before he managed to get the under carriage up!
This is the greatest video I've seen on RUclips. The music is wonderful, the edit is great. Someday, hopefully, I will manage to fly in MiG-25, my favorite plane of all times. Thanks SEL9000
I love the MiG 25 Foxbat for it was designed to engaged the US SR-71 Blackbird. Armed with AA 6 Acrid, makes it reliable to catch the Blackbird on any altitude.
When i was a teenager, I used to build model airplanes. Not the kind that flew but the plastic kind. I did this for about almost two years after one of my older brothers bought me one as a gag gift for my birthday. Out of all the planes I built, my two favorites were the F-14 Tomcat and the Mig-25 Foxbat. As far as I'm concerned those were the two best looking out of any other.
Our next video nearby a million views, only around 3,000 hits are missing, and then we have the second video with a lot of hits. So, space must be cool!

naser tercume There is nothing special about the Mig-25 Foxbat.When Russian fighter pilot Victor Belenko defected to the US his Mig-25 was inspected while it was still dis-assembled and it was a regular Mig but the difference was the Soviets had put enormous engines in it which made it very powerful but also it ran out of fuel very quick.
Best aircraft ever made.Period.Topspeed 3600km/h, cruise speed 3200km/h.F22Raptor topspeed 2400km/h cruisespeed 1900km/h...eurofighter same figures....this was made not to run from other aircrafts but from their missils...that achieved in that time until the 80's 2.5 mach...way under this masterpiece.Russia superior engenieering.Greetings from Portugal.
I am a NASA representative. I notice that you aren't using a wide angle lens on your video camera for your high altitude flights. We highly encourage you to use a wide angle lens so that you can capture the proper curvature of the earth.
Brad Miller We are sorry to inform you Brad, that during this time we didn't have had the chance to use GoPro's with wide angle lenses as we do it nowadays with our high altitude flights. But nevertheless, you must be careful with such entries here if you are a NASA representative. You are short before to be fired! ;)
***** wide-angle lenses have a greater field of view and are often preferred for action shots to capture the biggest field of view possible. The Original comment we are writing under probably was meant as a joke about those... let's call them "creative individuals" hating on NASA videos for using wide angle lenses to, and following is not my point of view, "cover up the earth is flat". which in the end has nothing to do with the chosen lens. :3
I have a legit question, how come these guys are not wearing pressurized suits? Like in the U2 and SR-71? Is the cockpit really sealed and pressurized that well in a mig? This is really interesting!
I brought one of these babies for $550k - one of my favorite gems to fly amongst a few others that I have, truly pushes you at the highest and fastest limits. The SU-27 is alot more expensive to buy beyond the $5 million mark, buy maybe one day I will part with the cash. I think its awesome that civilians can now fly these planes as a leisure.
The MiG-25 is a fine example of Soviet brute force. I'm not sure what kind of thrust it's engines produce at high alt when considering pressure recovery and Mach number but as is well known, the engines eat themselves up to achieve anything higher than Mach 2.8. While it's speed is indeed impressive, the SR-71 and XB-70 achieved what they did not just through brute force, but elegant solutions to the real issues, that allowed for true, sustained Mach 3+ performance, such as the J-58 engine's somewhat combined cycle like configurability and the XB-70's downward folding tips that captured high pressure waves between the tips and fuselage to further increase it's overall lift profile and altitude at high speed.
Blitzvogel Mobius you are comparing two incomparable things. MIG-25/31 is a FIGHTER plane, which is much different role then SR-71 or XB70. More interesting then the Fighter itself was the hunting system similar to WWII German U-boat wolfs pack. Also dont forget that Soviets stopped projects similar to SR-71 or XB-70 due to fact that they didnt see any use of them. They had Sukhoi T-4 "Sotka" for example, very similar to XB-70 (actually construction plans where ready before XB-70 development started) The supersonic spy plane was stopped even earlier since soviets successfully used spy satellites since 1961. SR-71 flights over Soviet Union stopped in 1989 when the plane was shot down over Japanese see by S-200 missile. Since the wreck went into water it was hard to claim the victory as US propaganda quickly masked such even as they did many many times. No wreck, no proof. The only proof is that it was last flight and the project was stopped after this event.
Fighter is a very broad term, as the real term for the MiG-25 is "Fighter-Interceptor" or really just "Interceptor". And the SR-71 was based on the YF-12 Interceptor which could maintain Mach 3 like it's brethren, but carried a very large Hughes radar and FCS along with the Hughes AIM-47, a predecessor to the AIM-54 Pheonix missile. I would say the Foxbat was a more successful system in that it wasn't as expensive and AFAIK didn't require special fuels as well as refueling right after take off due to the gaps needed in the Blackbird family's skin to accommodate aerodynamic heating. However, the YF-12 was a much more advanced aircraft, capable of interception profiles the Foxbat could not dream of without destroying itself.
Blitzvogel Mobius to be specific a Fighter-Bomber is the right designation for Mig-25 since it was planed and tested for Interception and Bombing missions. I doubt it was ever used in Bomber role. The YF-12 was nowhere near the Mig-25, yes it was nice plane, yes it had radar system similar to Mig-25 system except it already had the ability to scan/track down, but thats about it. The AIM-47 was nowhere near the R-40 duo, for one YF-12 soviets could have two flights of Mig-25 in operation with advanced tactics. Immense firepower if you ask me. Also I doubt that YF-12 was able to do any countermeasure maneuvers then angling the flight path, while the Mig-25 could do all textbook evasive maneuvers fine (proved in combat). The slight edge in operational speed is not much advance if you ask me.
There are strike/bomber versions of the MiG-25, but using it for that purpose is quite silly, expensive, and unreliable without smart weapons to guarantee hits vs aircraft better suited for ground strike like the MiG-27. The YF-12 from the onset had a more advanced Hughes AN/ASG-18 Pulse-Doppler radar system with look down/shoot down capability, as well as being the first Track while Scan radar in an aircraft. Additionally it was paired to a dual sensor IRST system. The system had a reliable range of about 100 miles, but 200+ was possible. The Foxbat didn't get anything close to comparable until the mid 1970s with the Sapphire 25 radar on the MiG-25PD. Even still, the version of AIM-47 used on the YF-12 had a 100 mile range, while the R40 was less than 50 miles. Also, the YF-12 first flew in 1963, the MiG-25 in 1964. As for maneuvering, at high altitude and high speed (Mach 2+), you wouldn't be making evasive maneuvers as it burns energy when you need to be using speed to engage or escape and just as importantly, such high speeds mean huge g-loadings which could result in structural failure. The Foxbat was only rated at 4.5G. The YF-12 was probably just as prohibitive, but it wasn't a dogfighter, but if you watch air show footage of the SR-71, you'll notice it turns quite better than you'd expect, which is likely due to the chine and delta wing configuration. So yes, the MiG-25 was a better "dogfighter" but using one as such is not sensible as it's forte is speed for interception and evasion used to great effect by the Iraqis in the Iran Iraq war. However against more powerful systems like the F-14 (whose radar and missiles are descendants of what was in the YF-12), there were a number of MiG-25s lost in air to air combat.
Blitzvogel Mobius well yes and no, Mig-27 got introduced five years later then Mig-25, but still it had different bomber role. While Mig-27 was build for strike missions, the Mig-25 was planed for tactical bombing missions using toss bombing. This allowed Mig-25 using its high speed and altitude to drop bomb up to 30km range from the drop point and remain safe from nuclear blast and enemy AA. So it was not silly, but I dont think it was ever used since tactical missiles with nuclear warheads came into service in about same time. The Hughes AN/ASG-18 radar was advanced in US terms, but the TL-25 Smerch-A was about same advanced only lacking the look down/shoot down feature. It could scan and track one target same as AN/ASG-18 it had about same range (AN/ASG-18 could detect bomber size target at range of 100 miles, Smerch at range 100km, but the fighter size target was detected by both at range about 60km). While the Smerch had one advanced tech that AN/ASG-18 lacked and that was alternative frequency and that means it was harder to jam (which was quiet easy with AN/ASG-18). Doesnt help you, if your radar has a bit longer range, if its blind. Also if you have two full flights of planes for same money, you can cover MUCH larger space with radar then with single plane. To come down from mach 2+ speed to be able to perform evasive maneuvers is much faster then you would think, much faster then missile needs to reach you at those ranges. Dont forget that the fight was always we detect you you detect us, we fire our missiles you fire yours, we both try to evade and who fails looses. There was no need to maintain the speed or direction after firing the the missiles, especially not the infrared homed. The air victory of F-14 over Mig-25 was always at dubious circumstances, the mig was either outnumbered or damaged by prior AA fire. Also dont forget that non of the Mig-25 shot down by F-14 where flown by soviet pilots with soviet standard of maintenance. And dont forget that Mig-25 is claiming victory over even more modern fighters then F-14, and thats Israeli F-15 and US A/F-18 The GAR-9b used on YF-12 had slightly lower range then GAR-9 since it had to be reduced in weight and had to have folding wings to fit inside the bay on YF-12 (which added more weight). Yes it had bit longer operational range then R-40 but was much less maneuverable (much easier to evade) and had slightly lower speed. Also YF-12 had only capacity for 3 missiles while Mig-25 had 4. If we ad this to the number of planes in the air for same money, the Mig-25 would literally blast the YF-12 out of the sky. Also Mig-25 had a lot of other advances systems supporting its operations which probably YF-12 lacked.
On September 6, 1976, Russian fighter pilot Victor Belenko decided he had enough. On a routine mission, he veered off course and kicked in the afterburners. Flying mach speed at sea-level to avoid surface-to-air missiles and other Russian fighters, Victor headed for Japan. With only 30 seconds of fuel remaining, he blazed into Hakodate's airport in a MIG-25 Foxbat. In one of Russia's most prized secret weapons, Victor narrowly missed a departing jetliner, skidded and screeched across the runway, blew a tire and nearly nailed a large antenna.He got out,stood on the wing and fired his pistol in the air. American troops arrived,some talked to him while a team of avionic experts dismantled the MIG-25,loaded it on an American transport plane and flew non-stop refueling in the air with US fresh fighter jets joining and relieving the six escort jets along the way. Upon touchdown in the US Victor Belenko laughing very hard "that at last I have arrived in the US!" Today,he is a peaceful US citizen.He carry's a business card which reads: "Victor Belenko,Mig-25 Pilot. World's Greatest Anti-Communist Fighter Pilot. Unconventional Emigrant. Landed in Japan on 9/6/76 with 30 seconds of fuel remaining. No passport. No visa.I had a gun and used it.US Citizen by unanimous vote of US Congress."
carletto sainzetto Have you ever seen his webpage?It's not on RUclips but a short video of him is.Japan news filmed him on the wing of the Foxbat firing his pistol.I met him in 1979.Full of vodka and singing a Russian song. Thats nothing unusual about it.During the cold war the US and Soviet Union traded spies back and forth all the time.Even the MIG-25 turned out to be quite simple.Russia just took a regular Mig and put two huge engines on it. I myself am glad the cold war is over and I hope it never returns.It would be a shame to destroy the Earth in a war nobody would win.
carletto sainzetto Go to his webpage and see what he says about America.Its not just him that defected to the US.His wing man did also about two years later.
carletto sainzetto The website is not his.He has no personal website.It's more of pictures of him and a Q&A (Question and Answer).If I were you since you hate him so much I would take a look at the page.Its not his but a US propaganda webpage.Here is the link for you to look at and read: www.chrisdixonreports.com/margaritaville/oshkosh/folioentry7.html Its worth a look,then tell me what you think.It had no video,just pictures a little print of talking. You must remember he wasn't the only Mig Pilot to defect,many did.Take a look and read the Q&A then get back to me.I really must know what you think.I am a American who fought in Vietnam until I took a 9mm round to the face,thats why I wear a beard.I know that I am very lucky to live through that. Carletto Sainzetto,would you tell me what country you live in and some other personal views you have and why?I don't care if you don't like America.But perhaps I will understand why you don't like America and later we could talk.Take Care and please get back to me.
And this is Russia. When the fighter pilots land after skirting the edge of earth and viewing the beginning of eternity, they get to go home to a dimly lit concrete shack and a dinner of shoe soup.
But the SR-71 only went to 85,000 feet. Look, it says 92,000 feet right there. Actually, in 1976, a Russian went to 127,000 feet in a Mig 25 ... really ! And no pressure suits required either for those hardy Soviets ! Just get in and drive, why make a big deal about it, unlike those overcautious Yankees?
The absolute ceiling of the SR-71 was/is classified. The world record is held by an experimental MIG-25 in a zoom-climb since 1977, the Blackbird helds a long list of records until today, too. Both jets represented a special technology, but they can't be compared. SR-71 was an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, MIG-25 was a interceptor to catch the Mach 3 "Valkyrie" bombers what the USAF has had in development, but what were never been activated for to be in real service. And pilots are covered by a special anti-g force suit what acts in a case of a pressure failure with positive pressure on the body.
Amazing Video. Brings back memories of my adventures with Russian Aviation. I feel the luckiest man knowing my Partner Organizes all these flights out of Sokol :)
Anyone who can't truly appreciate the engineering marvel of this jet doesn't know shit about aviation. I don't really care which country created it. It's an accomplishment of human desire. I'd give this a thousand thumbs up if possible.
Some of the records set by this remarkable aircraft still stand today. In 1977, a MIG 25 reached 123,520 feet!!! - I dont think that record will ever be broken by the F-22, F-35 or SU-35!
Ever heard of the SR-71 Blackbird? Google it sometime. It still holds many altitude and speed records, and the plane was built in America back in the 1960's!
Верно, этот рекорд существует с 1977 года. Однако попыток побить этот рекорд больше не было, поскольку речь шла уже не о высоте полета, а о маневренности.
Both MiG-25 and MiG-31 are formidable airplanes. Both are the only combat jets capable of Mach 3. MiG-31 has the most powerful radar mounted in a combat jet. MiG-25 has set climb and height records - some still stand today. There is also a Reconnaissance version of the Foxbat. Respect to both aircraft.
Very nice video for my favourite aircraft the mighty MiG-25. Love watching this everytime. This video along with Kevins video in the MiG-25 and his other videos inspired me to build my giant scale MiG-25 turbine model in New Zealand. Enthusiasts can view this searching rc mig-25 on youtube
MiG 25 also set a record by climbing to 115,000 feet with a 1000 kilogram (2200lbs) payload. Pretty much all other aircraft that climbed to extreme altitude were "clean"
An interesting story. BTW my grandfather was a russian jew who worked on the manhattan project. He was very pro american and told me stories of the soviet union and how lucky I was to be born here. The USA is successful because we allow people to manage their own affairs and pursue their dreams. That brings innovation and raises our standard of living.
@NoPantsPartyPR When I watched this on full screen, it brought a tear to my eye. It must be a very humbling experience. When faced with that it just shows how trivial things that people fight about are without belittling it.

"As a fighter, it was totally insignificant, a clumsy Russian truck on two wings."
Yeah right. That is why even obsolete export MiG-25 versions in Iraq managed to shot down F-18 and kick EF-111 out of its mission which caused one F-15 being shot down by S-75. And while MiG-25 even scored one F-15 itself, it overflew all enemy missiles even when they was launched at it in dozens.

It was an interceptor, not a fighter.
Nothing can go for Mach 3 for very long. That’s why the SR-71 was only ever used over tiny nations. Fewer than 20% of its hours were over Mach 3 and it needed a week of maintenance between each flight.
The Mig-25 was a very effective interceptor. It kept the skies over the USSR SR-71 free for decades, and got positive lock on the SR-71 numerous times.. just waiting for the American pilot to make a mistake and drift into Soviet airspace.
It also made an awesome reconnaissance plane. It would dash at Mach 3 over the Sinai and Israel and not even the Israeli Air Force were able to shoot it down on those missions.
Those MiG 25's kick ass! correct me if I'm wrong, still one of the fastest fighter/attack aircraft ever made, not bomber or reconnaissance. top speed of around mach 3.2, 2435 mph at altitude, that's incredible! 4 times faster then a .45 caliber bullet! The Russian's sure make some awesome machines, not to say we don't, but those Sukhoi's, MiG's and Tupolev are great aircraft designers!

92500? i doubt it....the only way a mig might achieve that height would be a stripped down one in a surge climb... that clearly was not the jet or the technique shown...i call bullchit...

Consider that we do not have a reason to talk about BS. The MIG-25 flown up to 2006 from Zuchowsky airfield nearby Moscow and I personally flown the jet twice. The capacity of the MIG-25 was more than 3 decades unknown. Of course we used jets without any weapon or radar system to get in this height, but the real capacities of the MIG-25 were more higher than anybody expected. World record holder of more than 137k feet and a lot of other records are speaking an own language. So please consider to investigate by your self before talking about that this is BS. Thank you.
Jim Blalock 37,650 metres
The highest current world absolute general aviation altitude record - General Aviation World Records- achieved by a manned air-breathing jet propelled aircraft is 37,650 metres (123,520 ft) set by Alexandr Fedotov, in a Mikoyan Gurevitch E-266M (MiG-25M), on 31 August 1977.
Noep. MIG-25 is world record holder with 137,000 feet altitude.
I've heard accounts of MIG-25s surpassing 100,000. This vid is amazing. It's my favorite jet. I would love to ride in one more than anything.
Beautiful, around 3:55 you can see the atmosphere and the edge of space, fantastic.
Love this plane. Fast and beautiful and actually gave a couple of our planes a hard time in the first Desert Storm.
As RUclips was nearby a year old in July 2006, we put the first of our own videos on and showed first time ever "ege of space flights" with the MIG-25 "Foxbat". This video influenced a lot of others to do the same. Parts of the video were copied and used in thousands of other videos around RUclips, also for commercial purposes. We are proud, that we started first with showing such adventures to share it with the public. We recognized especially in this case, that we must be good - because others copied us. And this not only on RUclips. ;)
I know you guys have air sickenss bags to vomit in, but what about those who would shit their Pants, farts should not be lumpy right?
You do not have time to think about, you have a precisely job to do. No time for farts and other things. Think about your mother what she said always before leaving the house, what you have to do before. And thats it.
but my mother also told me Santa CLaus and the tooth fairy were real so she is in want of credibility in my book.
So big pleasure look at this beautiful video with heartfelt music!
My favorite aircraft video!!!
Stunning...

ilove this fighter i hope sea in my ayes this my dream 😔😔😞😢
*Stuart Hughes* The MiG 25 holds records for absolute height (123,520 feet). Also I believe it set a record climb to 80,000 feet in just over 3 minutes!!!!!
MIG-25 held some records. Beside highest altitude (zoom climb). They are all registered at www.fai.org.
ALL HAIL OUR GOD EMPEROR TRUMP.
FOR IN REPUBLICANS WE TRUST!
this guy is so lucky. he has his own mig 25 and can go into space whenever the hell he wants. but me, im just a freshman in highschool and i wish that i could just hop in a mig 25 and fly into space whenever. this video just relaxes me and lets me think about life. its a great video.
You are probably out of college now) the video is still great
This was one of our first videos what we uploaded in August 2006 after RUclips was around one year old. We were first who shown flights out of the cockpit of a MIG-25 during Edge of Space Flights.
In the following years, the footage of the video was thousands of times copied, re-edited and used on other social network platforms and anybody thought, the footage could be used by anybody. And not only normal fans used it, also TV stations and one guy from Australia who was up to fly as a space flight participant in 2007 to the ISS. He used the footage to present it like "This is my flight what I did in 2001". He never flown to the ISS, he sold his slot then to Charles Simonyi who flown 2 times to the International Space Station.
We never claimed such copyright infringements on legal issues, sometimes we closed of course channels or let RUclips delete the videos on other sources. But in real, we were honored that the material was used by others, because nobody present such footage before!
Now, this video is the second video what crossed the 1,000,000 views line on our RUclips channel! We are impressed, and thanks to all who liked our channel! More to come!
O rly?
k
MIG-25 videos are online in our channel, but unfortunately since 2006 no MIG-25 for non pilots available.
Incredible!! you know your way high when the sky turns dark and you can actually see the stars...in the day time!! WOW!!
MiG 25 set the record for zoom climb, and still holds it today
That's why i love MiG-25 and SR-71!!!! Love it!
Amazing machine... to reach those high altitudes it requires very powerful engines... and that's what its engines are: amazing and powerful.
Simply beautiful and mesmerizing and words simply cannot describe 😊
в/ч 42107, с 1982-1990, МИГ-25, техсостав, выдающейся перехватчик, отличный коллектив полка.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE AIRCRAFT
C'est mon Mig préféré. Vient ensuite le 29.
I had the privilege back then to be one was one of those pilots
Perhaps Chuck Samons remembers me
Costas Cavvathas
this is so well done! the music, the womans harmony is amazing when the mig is at it's highest! i can just imagine the silence and then the roar of the engines! stunning, very moving video! well done.
Great machine made in Russia.
cruise in the sky high with vivid music.
Thank you, loved the plane, loved the music!
Terrific video! Amazing edition, congrats.
LOL - Foreign exchange pilots back in the day loved it!
I heard one case of a Belguim pilot who used absolute maximum power on take off (despite being told that normal power was enough) and the aircraft ran away on him, he found himself at quite an altitude before he managed to get the under carriage up!
This is the greatest video I've seen on RUclips. The music is wonderful, the edit is great. Someday, hopefully, I will manage to fly in MiG-25, my favorite plane of all times. Thanks SEL9000
Never the less, great video and I am still a fan of the MIG-25's!
все зашибись ,слава нашей авиации ,просто офигенные съемки ,ТАК ДЕРЖАТЬ
Heavy and massive bird. Built out of steel. It scared the world though especially the U.S. I could elaborate more, but i won't. Love the mellow music.
repeatedly accelerated to 3.5 M, 3.2 stable
MiG exceeding M=3 reduces airframe, but does not result in damage to the aircraft or engine
I love the MiG 25 Foxbat for it was designed to engaged the US SR-71 Blackbird. Armed with AA 6 Acrid, makes it reliable to catch the Blackbird on any altitude.
BEAUTIFUL
When i was a teenager, I used to build model airplanes. Not the kind that flew but the plastic kind. I did this for about almost two years after one of my older brothers bought me one as a gag gift for my birthday. Out of all the planes I built, my two favorites were the F-14 Tomcat and the Mig-25 Foxbat. As far as I'm concerned those were the two best looking out of any other.
Do you guys still do these flights, and if so, how much? It's always been my dream to fly aboard a MIG-25. Just a beautiful plane.
I can't stop watching that over and over again!
damn...its one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen in my life..i wish i could afford it
Excellent stuff!
I loved this thanks Spacefreaks.
love the music
great air craft, stunning performance, stunning video!!!!!!
MiG-25; Jet legend no.1 on this planet!!
Imagine..40 world records!!
Please..give me a last flight! :D -My dream no.1 :)
Einar H. Hovdastad For non pilots such flights aren't possible with the Foxbat. Stopped in summer 2006.
***** Thought so..unfortunately. Thanks for your respond anyway :)
Welcome for other experiences here. :)
***** Спасибо!! = Takk ..in Norwegian :)
Einar H. Hovdastad
We are German/Austrian. So - Danke. ;)
WooooW , beautiful!!! Beautiful music!!! Love it!!!
Our next video nearby a million views, only around 3,000 hits are missing, and then we have the second video with a lot of hits. So, space must be cool!

naser tercume There is nothing special about the Mig-25 Foxbat.When Russian fighter pilot Victor Belenko defected to the US his Mig-25 was inspected while it was still dis-assembled and it was a regular Mig but the difference was the Soviets had put enormous engines in it which made it very powerful but also it ran out of fuel very quick.
Fair enough, I didn't know it can go past 85,000 feet.
Thanks for the reply and the video, take care! :)
One of the best Soviet product. (Y)
Awesome plane and nice music👍✈️
Best aircraft ever made.Period.Topspeed 3600km/h, cruise speed 3200km/h.F22Raptor topspeed 2400km/h cruisespeed 1900km/h...eurofighter same figures....this was made not to run from other aircrafts but from their missils...that achieved in that time until the 80's 2.5 mach...way under this masterpiece.Russia superior engenieering.Greetings from Portugal.
I am a NASA representative. I notice that you aren't using a wide angle lens on your video camera for your high altitude flights. We highly encourage you to use a wide angle lens so that you can capture the proper curvature of the earth.
Brad Miller We are sorry to inform you Brad, that during this time we didn't have had the chance to use GoPro's with wide angle lenses as we do it nowadays with our high altitude flights. But nevertheless, you must be careful with such entries here if you are a NASA representative. You are short before to be fired! ;)
***** wide-angle lenses have a greater field of view and are often preferred for action shots to capture the biggest field of view possible. The Original comment we are writing under probably was meant as a joke about those... let's call them "creative individuals" hating on NASA videos for using wide angle lenses to, and following is not my point of view, "cover up the earth is flat". which in the end has nothing to do with the chosen lens. :3
awesome
And scare away all the flat earth nuts....
+SPACE AFFAIRS why would he be fired?
A really nice video also a good music choise! Its impressive that the Mig-25 can reach this height.
I have a legit question, how come these guys are not wearing pressurized suits? Like in the U2 and SR-71? Is the cockpit really sealed and pressurized that well in a mig? This is really interesting!
These guys really kick ass. Thanks for posting.
edge of space is about 328.083 feet so this flight didn´t got close as many might think !!!
That’s space...
The renaissance man it’s good enough for me.
I brought one of these babies for $550k - one of my favorite gems to fly amongst a few others that I have, truly pushes you at the highest and fastest limits. The SU-27 is alot more expensive to buy beyond the $5 million mark, buy maybe one day I will part with the cash. I think its awesome that civilians can now fly these planes as a leisure.
The MiG-25 is a fine example of Soviet brute force. I'm not sure what kind of thrust it's engines produce at high alt when considering pressure recovery and Mach number but as is well known, the engines eat themselves up to achieve anything higher than Mach 2.8. While it's speed is indeed impressive, the SR-71 and XB-70 achieved what they did not just through brute force, but elegant solutions to the real issues, that allowed for true, sustained Mach 3+ performance, such as the J-58 engine's somewhat combined cycle like configurability and the XB-70's downward folding tips that captured high pressure waves between the tips and fuselage to further increase it's overall lift profile and altitude at high speed.
Blitzvogel Mobius you are comparing two incomparable things. MIG-25/31 is a FIGHTER plane, which is much different role then SR-71 or XB70. More interesting then the Fighter itself was the hunting system similar to WWII German U-boat wolfs pack. Also dont forget that Soviets stopped projects similar to SR-71 or XB-70 due to fact that they didnt see any use of them. They had Sukhoi T-4 "Sotka" for example, very similar to XB-70 (actually construction plans where ready before XB-70 development started) The supersonic spy plane was stopped even earlier since soviets successfully used spy satellites since 1961. SR-71 flights over Soviet Union stopped in 1989 when the plane was shot down over Japanese see by S-200 missile. Since the wreck went into water it was hard to claim the victory as US propaganda quickly masked such even as they did many many times. No wreck, no proof. The only proof is that it was last flight and the project was stopped after this event.
Fighter is a very broad term, as the real term for the MiG-25 is "Fighter-Interceptor" or really just "Interceptor". And the SR-71 was based on the YF-12 Interceptor which could maintain Mach 3 like it's brethren, but carried a very large Hughes radar and FCS along with the Hughes AIM-47, a predecessor to the AIM-54 Pheonix missile.
I would say the Foxbat was a more successful system in that it wasn't as expensive and AFAIK didn't require special fuels as well as refueling right after take off due to the gaps needed in the Blackbird family's skin to accommodate aerodynamic heating. However, the YF-12 was a much more advanced aircraft, capable of interception profiles the Foxbat could not dream of without destroying itself.
Blitzvogel Mobius
to be specific a Fighter-Bomber is the right designation for Mig-25 since it was planed and tested for Interception and Bombing missions. I doubt it was ever used in Bomber role.
The YF-12 was nowhere near the Mig-25, yes it was nice plane, yes it had radar system similar to Mig-25 system except it already had the ability to scan/track down, but thats about it. The AIM-47 was nowhere near the R-40 duo, for one YF-12 soviets could have two flights of Mig-25 in operation with advanced tactics. Immense firepower if you ask me. Also I doubt that YF-12 was able to do any countermeasure maneuvers then angling the flight path, while the Mig-25 could do all textbook evasive maneuvers fine (proved in combat). The slight edge in operational speed is not much advance if you ask me.
There are strike/bomber versions of the MiG-25, but using it for that purpose is quite silly, expensive, and unreliable without smart weapons to guarantee hits vs aircraft better suited for ground strike like the MiG-27.
The YF-12 from the onset had a more advanced Hughes AN/ASG-18 Pulse-Doppler radar system with look down/shoot down capability, as well as being the first Track while Scan radar in an aircraft. Additionally it was paired to a dual sensor IRST system. The system had a reliable range of about 100 miles, but 200+ was possible. The Foxbat didn't get anything close to comparable until the mid 1970s with the Sapphire 25 radar on the MiG-25PD. Even still, the version of AIM-47 used on the YF-12 had a 100 mile range, while the R40 was less than 50 miles.
Also, the YF-12 first flew in 1963, the MiG-25 in 1964. As for maneuvering, at high altitude and high speed (Mach 2+), you wouldn't be making evasive maneuvers as it burns energy when you need to be using speed to engage or escape and just as importantly, such high speeds mean huge g-loadings which could result in structural failure. The Foxbat was only rated at 4.5G. The YF-12 was probably just as prohibitive, but it wasn't a dogfighter, but if you watch air show footage of the SR-71, you'll notice it turns quite better than you'd expect, which is likely due to the chine and delta wing configuration. So yes, the MiG-25 was a better "dogfighter" but using one as such is not sensible as it's forte is speed for interception and evasion used to great effect by the Iraqis in the Iran Iraq war. However against more powerful systems like the F-14 (whose radar and missiles are descendants of what was in the YF-12), there were a number of MiG-25s lost in air to air combat.
Blitzvogel Mobius
well yes and no, Mig-27 got introduced five years later then Mig-25, but still it had different bomber role. While Mig-27 was build for strike missions, the Mig-25 was planed for tactical bombing missions using toss bombing. This allowed Mig-25 using its high speed and altitude to drop bomb up to 30km range from the drop point and remain safe from nuclear blast and enemy AA. So it was not silly, but I dont think it was ever used since tactical missiles with nuclear warheads came into service in about same time.
The Hughes AN/ASG-18 radar was advanced in US terms, but the TL-25 Smerch-A was about same advanced only lacking the look down/shoot down feature. It could scan and track one target same as AN/ASG-18 it had about same range (AN/ASG-18 could detect bomber size target at range of 100 miles, Smerch at range 100km, but the fighter size target was detected by both at range about 60km). While the Smerch had one advanced tech that AN/ASG-18 lacked and that was alternative frequency and that means it was harder to jam (which was quiet easy with AN/ASG-18). Doesnt help you, if your radar has a bit longer range, if its blind. Also if you have two full flights of planes for same money, you can cover MUCH larger space with radar then with single plane.
To come down from mach 2+ speed to be able to perform evasive maneuvers is much faster then you would think, much faster then missile needs to reach you at those ranges. Dont forget that the fight was always we detect you you detect us, we fire our missiles you fire yours, we both try to evade and who fails looses. There was no need to maintain the speed or direction after firing the the missiles, especially not the infrared homed.
The air victory of F-14 over Mig-25 was always at dubious circumstances, the mig was either outnumbered or damaged by prior AA fire. Also dont forget that non of the Mig-25 shot down by F-14 where flown by soviet pilots with soviet standard of maintenance. And dont forget that Mig-25 is claiming victory over even more modern fighters then F-14, and thats Israeli F-15 and US A/F-18
The GAR-9b used on YF-12 had slightly lower range then GAR-9 since it had to be reduced in weight and had to have folding wings to fit inside the bay on YF-12 (which added more weight). Yes it had bit longer operational range then R-40 but was much less maneuverable (much easier to evade) and had slightly lower speed. Also YF-12 had only capacity for 3 missiles while Mig-25 had 4. If we ad this to the number of planes in the air for same money, the Mig-25 would literally blast the YF-12 out of the sky. Also Mig-25 had a lot of other advances systems supporting its operations which probably YF-12 lacked.
Perfect music for the perfect video 😉👍👍👍👍
I beleive that currently Mig-25 is the highest flying operational (non-experimental) jet in the world
Good vid m8. The Mig 25 and the SR 71 were 2 exceptional planes!
On September 6, 1976, Russian fighter pilot Victor Belenko decided he had enough. On a routine mission, he veered off course and kicked in the afterburners. Flying mach speed at sea-level to avoid surface-to-air missiles and other Russian fighters, Victor headed for Japan. With only 30 seconds of fuel remaining, he blazed into Hakodate's airport in a MIG-25 Foxbat. In one of Russia's most prized secret weapons, Victor narrowly missed a departing jetliner, skidded and screeched across the runway, blew a tire and nearly nailed a large antenna.He got out,stood on the wing and fired his pistol in the air.
American troops arrived,some talked to him while a team of avionic experts dismantled the MIG-25,loaded it on an American transport plane and flew non-stop refueling in the air with US fresh fighter jets joining and relieving the six escort jets along the way.
Upon touchdown in the US Victor Belenko laughing very hard "that at last I have arrived in the US!"
Today,he is a peaceful US citizen.He carry's a business card which reads: "Victor Belenko,Mig-25 Pilot. World's Greatest Anti-Communist Fighter Pilot. Unconventional Emigrant. Landed in Japan on 9/6/76 with 30 seconds of fuel remaining. No passport. No visa.I had a gun and used it.US Citizen by unanimous vote of US Congress."
carletto sainzetto Have you ever seen his webpage?It's not on RUclips but a short video of him is.Japan news filmed him on the wing of the Foxbat firing his pistol.I met him in 1979.Full of vodka and singing a Russian song.
Thats nothing unusual about it.During the cold war the US and Soviet Union traded spies back and forth all the time.Even the MIG-25 turned out to be quite simple.Russia just took a regular Mig and put two huge engines on it.
I myself am glad the cold war is over and I hope it never returns.It would be a shame to destroy the Earth in a war nobody would win.
americans will destroy earth alone.
carletto sainzetto Go to his webpage and see what he says about America.Its not just him that defected to the US.His wing man did also about two years later.
carletto sainzetto The website is not his.He has no personal website.It's more of pictures of him and a Q&A (Question and Answer).If I were you since you hate him so much I would take a look at the page.Its not his but a US propaganda webpage.Here is the link for you to look at and read: www.chrisdixonreports.com/margaritaville/oshkosh/folioentry7.html Its worth a look,then tell me what you think.It had no video,just pictures a little print of talking.
You must remember he wasn't the only Mig Pilot to defect,many did.Take a look and read the Q&A then get back to me.I really must know what you think.I am a American who fought in Vietnam until I took a 9mm round to the face,thats why I wear a beard.I know that I am very lucky to live through that.
Carletto Sainzetto,would you tell me what country you live in and some other personal views you have and why?I don't care if you don't like America.But perhaps I will understand why you don't like America and later we could talk.Take Care and please get back to me.
Eddie Hayes all despise traitors
This is one of the most relaxing videos i've seen. it's like you're there.
And this is Russia. When the fighter pilots land after skirting the edge of earth and viewing the beginning of eternity, they get to go home to a dimly lit concrete shack and a dinner of shoe soup.
You really trust this delirium you sayd? :))) Poor victim of brain washing...
Definition of an unecudated Yankee.
Unfort, this is true
You sound like a pretty sad person. Go and travel. See the World and open your mind to the possibilities.
that is why people don't yankees，
imbecile
frenzy
ignorance
The music really fits the epicness of the video, good job!
The mig was never able to catch the SR-71 ever.
But the SR-71 only went to 85,000 feet. Look, it says 92,000 feet right there. Actually, in 1976, a Russian went to 127,000 feet in a Mig 25 ... really ! And no pressure suits required either for those hardy Soviets ! Just get in and drive, why make a big deal about it, unlike those overcautious Yankees?
The absolute ceiling of the SR-71 was/is classified. The world record is held by an experimental MIG-25 in a zoom-climb since 1977, the Blackbird helds a long list of records until today, too. Both jets represented a special technology, but they can't be compared. SR-71 was an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, MIG-25 was a interceptor to catch the Mach 3 "Valkyrie" bombers what the USAF has had in development, but what were never been activated for to be in real service. And pilots are covered by a special anti-g force suit what acts in a case of a pressure failure with positive pressure on the body.
Those russian exploits were a sham.
Amazing Video. Brings back memories of my adventures with Russian Aviation. I feel the luckiest man knowing my Partner Organizes all these flights out of Sokol :)
looking at this the earth looks flat
+lincoln fearon But it isn't.
+SPACE AFFAIRS sure it is
+lincoln fearon It's Russia bro, it is flat.
lincoln fearon Probably not high enough to see curvature. Only NASA can do that. Or maybe a ballon at 121,000 feet. Nah, must be our eyes lie to us.
fuck sake these people are everywhere
the music in this ………..amazing!
I've seen pictures and video but I don't think anything can compare to actually seeing it first hand. Amazing.
Un Record qui tient toujours. Incredible Mig25
Stunning!
Amazing
Fantastic.
Just some of the words i could use to describe this amazingly Beautiful Video!
Anyone who can't truly appreciate the engineering marvel of this jet doesn't know shit about aviation. I don't really care which country created it. It's an accomplishment of human desire. I'd give this a thousand thumbs up if possible.
never seen anything like it....amazing.
Awesome to see the curvature of the earth.
Some of the records set by this remarkable aircraft still stand today.
In 1977, a MIG 25 reached 123,520 feet!!! - I dont think that record will ever be broken by the F-22, F-35 or SU-35!
Ever heard of the SR-71 Blackbird? Google it sometime. It still holds many altitude and speed records, and the plane was built in America back in the 1960's!
4:30 - super view like in space - very IMPRESSIVE!!!!
Inspiring video and breathtaking music
Amazing video! The music is also the best!
Миг 25 побил все рекорды мира поднявшись на 37,000 метров равных этому исреителю нет на долгие годы ✌👍
Верно, этот рекорд существует с 1977 года. Однако попыток побить этот рекорд больше не было, поскольку речь шла уже не о высоте полета, а о маневренности.
Both MiG-25 and MiG-31 are formidable airplanes.
Both are the only combat jets capable of Mach 3.
MiG-31 has the most powerful radar mounted in a combat jet.
MiG-25 has set climb and height records - some still stand today.
There is also a Reconnaissance version of the Foxbat.
Respect to both aircraft.
i can`t stop watching this beautiful and amazing video...
Great video love the foxbat.
Very nice video for my favourite aircraft the mighty MiG-25. Love watching this everytime.
This video along with Kevins video in the MiG-25 and his other videos inspired me to build my giant scale MiG-25 turbine model in New Zealand.
Enthusiasts can view this searching rc mig-25 on youtube
thanks for sharing this video. A master piece of engineering work.
Greetings from germany to the red star wings.
I SO want this experience! Like I want a 10 000 meter skydive too! : )
This is truly amazing.
Very cool! Thanx for posting.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
MiG 25 also set a record by climbing to 115,000 feet with a 1000 kilogram (2200lbs) payload.
Pretty much all other aircraft that climbed to extreme altitude were "clean"
Hello Guys,
Just dropping by to say a big thanks for using my music "Awakening" in your spectacular Video!
Regards
Paul
wonderful video.....wonderful music....perfect! Saluti dall'Italia
Such a golden time.
An interesting story. BTW my grandfather was a russian jew who worked on the manhattan project. He was very pro american and told me stories of the soviet union and how lucky I was to be born here. The USA is successful because we allow people to manage their own affairs and pursue their dreams. That brings innovation and raises our standard of living.
@NoPantsPartyPR When I watched this on full screen, it brought a tear to my eye. It must be a very humbling experience. When faced with that it just shows how trivial things that people fight about are without belittling it.
magnifique très belle vidéo
Music is very nice but,it would be nice to hear those massive engines as well :) Awesome video!
simply amazing! 5*!
what a mean machine is this Mig25! Respect!
I would love to take a flight to those heights in that or a U-2. It is beautiful up there!
