PG>But the MiG-25 wasn't designed to fight F-15s, it was designed to shoot
>down 747 airliners.
Actually, the Mig-25 was designed to counter the XB-70 Valkyrie, a
bomber designed to fly at Mach 3 at an altitude of 80K feet. It never
went into production, but the Soviets still produced the Migs, and so
we came up with the F-15.
To bring this back on topic, the Mig 25 doesn't have any gun armament,
but the F-15 packs the M61 Vulcan 20mm Galting gun.
