As you can see, the Mig-25 is far tougher than it looks.

"MiG25 Foxbat" One of my favorite machine.. Lets me present some of its Iconic incidents...
1. On 6 November 1971, an Egyptian MiG-25 flying at Mach 2.5 was met by Israeli F-4Es and fired upon unsuccessfully.
2. A MiG-25 was tracked flying over Sinai at Mach 3.2 during this period. The MiG-25 overspeeded its engines, which led to their later destruction
and this one is best
3. In yet another incident, two MiG-25s approached a pair of F-15s, fired missiles (which were evaded by the F-15s), and then outran the American fighters. Two more F-15s joined the pursuit, and a total of 10 air-to-air missiles were fired at the MiG-25s, although none reached them

Indian MiG25
1. The MiG-25 was kept a guarded secret in India, and was nicknamed Garuda,
This ine may not be liked by My pakistani frnds, But this is awesome...
In May 1997, an Indian Air Force Mikoyan MiG-25RB reconnaissance aircraft created a furor when the pilot flew faster than Mach 2 over Pakistani territory following a reconnaissance mission into Pakistan airspace. The MiG-25 broke the sound barrier while flying at an altitude of around 65,000 feet, otherwise the mission would have remained covert, at least to the general public. The Pakistan Government considered the breaking of the sound barrier was deliberate to make the point that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had no aircraft in its inventory which can come close to the MiG-25's cruising height (up to 74,000 feet)

Burying those jets in the sand is probably worse than dumping them into the ocean. They'd have to be stripped 100% to its individual components, and each of those would have to be cleaned completely.
The jets were mostly scrap the moment the Iraqis began to bulldoze them. They may have salvaged a couple of them, but the cost to fix them is more than they are worth.
