Is that a real or faked picture?  The Island looks US Navy to me...

The story goes that the South Africans were once compelled to write newspaper reports about the threat of MiG-25s based on a Russian carrier off Madagascar. Can't tell whether this was a scenario to ponder or they actually asked for USN intervention.

Any thoughts on a recon Mig-31? Been considering this as a project. Maybe cameras in the nose area, camera bulges where the fuselage R-33's go, or possibly a canoe ala the RA-5C?

Use the MiG-25R nose as a guide there and add two canoes over the fuselage mounts for the R-33's?  Alternatively, blank the bays off and just have one large center-line canoealong with a nose inspired by the MiG-25R and developments thereof?

How about a swing-wing/variable geometry MiG-25 or MiG-31?  With a catchy new reporting code name of FLOGBAT, FIREFLOGGER, or FIREBAT. :smiley:

Those big verticals would go well with the scheme for the 318th FS.  They are more into drones now, but I'd love to see a MiG-31 in markings for the 111th FIS.

As discussed here, back in the early days of developing the MiG-25, Soviet engineers took the approach of "Okay, so...this is the biggest engine we've got, right? How about... we take two of them!"   ...but you just know one of them was thinking "Нет. три!..."
