Mikoyan Mig
What would win a modern dogfight A eurofighter or mikoyan mig foxbat?
my friend and i always argue over which would win
take in to acount fox bat hit 3 mach twice as fast as a eurofighter
Some facts to consider:
1- the MiG25 was NEVER designed to go 3.0Mach. The only times it has it destroyed the engines, and the crew was lucky to survive. It's limited to 2.8 Mach
2- Speed is life, but the MiG25 is NOT a "fighter" in the conventional sense. It was/is designed to intercept bombers-period.
Were the MiG driver stupid enough to get into a visual fight, which I assume you mean by "dogfight"- that's an easy kill.
AGILITY's the key to winning engagements post-merge not pure speed. The majority of air/air kills since Korea have occurred at 1.0Mach or just under. Agility's the ability to quickly regain lost energy, and sustain G if necessary. The Foxbat just doesn't have it-at all. Were the Foxbat to light its 'burners and try to separate, that just makes a HUGE IR signature for a heater shot.
The Foxbat doesn't carry any countermeasures like chaff, flares making my job even easier. It's radar is a huge beacon, that any modern NATO/US fighter would easily locate. The aircraft itself with vertical sides and being made of steel is a frickin' billboard for radar cross-section. Again, makes my job of seeing and killing him easier.
Actually my airframe the F4, could easily get behind a Foxbat if in not a single scissors, then maybe a couple. Even if the Foxbat yo-yo'd to to convert his energy into altitude to cut his turn.
Finally, take any "reports" of "US/NATO fighters outdone by xxxx" with a huge grain of salt. Without getting into classified details those are TRAINING sorties. The idea is to instruct the other guy, not show who can kill whom. There's no training value in me shooting a slammer at 10miles at a gomer who's clueless, if the training scenario requires me to merge with him.
