MIG 25 aka “Garuda” Retirement (Misc.)

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has announced it will retire its fleet of MiG 25s, Cold War-era spyplanes, previously shrouded in secrecy. The MiGs, capable of flying at over three times the speed of sound, were bought from the USSR in 1981. The planes are known to have flown over China, Pakistan and other countries to take stock of their military preparations but returned undetected after conducting sorties at an altitude of 25 km.

Well u guys …. post different and I love it. Keep them coming.

so MIG 21 are different from MIG 25 right. So they need to ground MIG 21’s rather than MIG 25.

Good photos Admin. Well MIG 25’s are grounded as now we got good satellites. And MIG 25’s are mainly for spying and for taking photos.
