In the end of 60s the Mikoyan Design Bureau was developed the world’s first interceptor fighter with speed of Mach 3 – the MIG-25. At the same time high reconnaissance-bomber modification was designed, which was called the MiG-25RB. The improved modification MiG-25RBE with updated avionics was produced in 1981-1982. These perfect reconnaissance planes served in Soviet (later – Russian) Air Force, and were delivered to Iraq and Libya.
