Oh...almost forgot...of over five MiG 25 variants only one is classified
as
an interceptor...don't bzzz off too soon, you don't want to go off half
cocked...

I see you failed to mention that the MiG-25 was never developed to be a
competitor of the SR-71. The first model was specifically designed to be an
interceptor. All other models were afterthoughts. And even as
afterthoughts, they were never intended nor used as competitors to the
SR-71. They didn't have the range, ceiling, speed, or sensors to compete.

Like I said befo Bzzzzzt! Wrong answer. Try again.
