the real middle finger
vayu-sena.tripod.com/other-1997mig25-1.html
Last May (1997), an Indian Force (IAF)
Mikoyan MiG-25RB Foxbat-B
reconnaissance aircraft created a
furore when the pilot flew faster than
Mach 2 over Pakistani territory
following a reconnaissance mission into Pakistan airspace. The Foxbat
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 as deliberate: to make the point
that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has
no aircraft in its inventory which can
come close to the cruising height of
the MiG-25 (up to 74,000 feet). However, from one of PAF's Forward
Operating Bases, radar traced the
intruder and the F-16As scrambled.
Sources in the PAF said that there was
no need to intercept a plane flying at
the altitude of 65,000 feet as the F-16 can reach an operating ceiling of
55,000 feet.
