HISTORY ASPECTS: The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25PDS was a high-speed, high-altitude interceptor that served in various air forces during the Cold War era. The 146th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (GFAR) stationed in Vasilkov, Ukraine, operated the MiG-25PDS in 1990. While the MiG-25 series was not extensively involved in conflicts, it played a crucial role during the Cold War as a reconnaissance and interceptor aircraft, designed to counter potential threats from strategic bombers. The MiG-25PDS featured improved avionics and radar systems, enhancing its capabilities in tracking and engaging enemy aircraft. Although not deployed in direct combat, the aircraft was a key element of the Soviet Union's air defense strategy, deterring potential adversaries and ensuring the protection of its airspace. The 146th GFAR contributed to the readiness of Soviet air forces during a period of heightened tensions. This 1:72 scale model captures the details of the aircraft, including its distinctive twin-engine configuration and the unique features that made it a symbol of Soviet air power during the late 20th century.
