In 1964 Mikoyan Design Bureau designed interceptor MiG-25P («Foxbat A») and photo reconnaissance MiG-25R («Foxbat B») which both had outstanding performance data. Designers used a lot of original technical decisions, for example stainless steel airframe skin usage instead of aluminium alloys, welding instead of traditional rivets and neat alcohol usage for aircraft systems cooling. Record-breaking variant E-266 established 29 world records, many of them were in force for more than 10 years.
