The MiG-25 was designed specifically to counter the B-70.

Correct. Wasn't the B-70 killer missile the Mig-25 was designed to
carry called the "Anab"? 40 feet long IIRC. Huge mutha.



No... the MiG-25 had the R-40 missile (NATO name AA-6 "Acrid"). And
it was only about 20 feet long.

FAS has a couple pictures... I wouldn't take their range and
performance data seriously (on anything), but as far as physical
dimensions they seem to be in the ballpark.
