Good reply, but I don't think I'd classify Mig-25 as 4th generation.
I may have catagorized that one incorrectly, but I though it was considered
the
same generation as the F-15?
Nope - just a faster member of (and contemporary of)
the F-4 graduating class.
Could I have confused it with the MiG-31?
Damn things look very familar....to me at least.
Best way to remember is on the 31 the afterburner nozzles extend
beyond the tail surfaces.
U/C is different too.
