The iconic knife sheath on the forearm of MikoyamвЂ™s TSF wasnвЂ™t included in this craft either.

The hardpoints on the forearm can be equipped with specially designed multi-purpose supplemental armor, to break through BETA groups around a Hive and in the stab. вЂ“ The MiG-25вЂ™s increased size gives it more frontal armor and airframe durability, as well as high-speed cruising abilities and increased cruising distance. A group of MiG-25 would charge straight towards a Hive, perform area bombardment as necessary on the way, infiltrate the HiveвЂ™s stab as soon as possible and unleash all of its armaments, which usually resulted in a one-way trip for the pilots. The combat doctrine of the MiG-25 is almost a suicide blitzkrieg with tactical nuke to suppress Hives. вЂ“ Even though the craft is based on the F-15, the EagleвЂ™s close-quarter dogfighting ability вЂ“ which is a major cause for losses вЂ“ isnвЂ™t present in the Spirt-Voz. Once it infiltrates the Hive, the MiG-25 would unleash all of its arsenal вЂ“ waves of nuclear attacks вЂ“ to suppress the Hive in a short amount of time. These are high output Jump Units that are powerful enough to carry the unit along with large nuclear guided missiles to reach the stab of a Hive in the shortest distance and time as possible, as well as the ability to use those nuclear warheads for wide area suppression so the unit can reach the target safely.

вЂ“ There are no recorded height for the MiG-25 Spirt-Voz, but its frame is 20% larger than an F-15 Eagle, so it should stand around 20-meter, utilizing two K-18BD-300 Jump Units. However, the MiG-25 was most likely exported to several foreign nations and still used to this day. Replacement for the TSF with higher survivalbility вЂ“ the MiG-31 Plamya-Lisa вЂ“ was deployed by Mikoyam in 1990. вЂ“ As a heavy and less agile craft geared towards delivering tactical nuclear strike for Hive capturing, the MiG-25 wasnвЂ™t favored by Soviet Union due to Hive capturing operation never succeeded and the war of attrition against the BETA was obviously wearing the Soviet down much faster. It commenced frontline deployment in 1987 alongside the MiG-29 (formerly the 9/12). The new craft was given the formal designation MiG-25 and became the first first scale Soviet TSF since the MiG-21. This was achieved by salvaging the remains of F-15 Eagles to research American technology. The huge technological gap frustrated the Communist Party, and they resolved to making a re-design of the F-15 Eagle, based on the Soviet unique operational concepts. However, Mikoyam Guluvich lacked the technologies to support these high specifications, leading to the program hitting roadblocks. The unit was geared towards high-speed assault with support bombardments abilities.

вЂ“ The MFPTI Program used the YE-155 self-contained hive capturing prototype craft as the вЂњHighвЂќ part, which later became the MiG-25. This created panic in the Soviet Union, prompting them to start their own next-gen development plan: the MFPTI вЂ“ Multifunctional Frontline Tactical Surface Fighter Program вЂ“ which was a parallel to the High-Low Mix Initiative: developing a limited quantity of heavy-weight, robust craft along a high number of lightweight, affordable craft. вЂ“ In the meantime, the US had already started their 3rd-generation TSF development (ATSF Program) and the High-Low Mix initiaive (LWTSF program). This led to their next mainline craft вЂ“ the MiG-23 and MiG-27 вЂ“ being subpar compared to their Western equivalent (the F-14 Tomcat). But it was clear that they lacked the fundamental understanding and skills to rival the US, not to mention the BETA had been detrimental to their facilities and territories.

вЂ“ After 1980, having gained TSF development knowledge from the licensed production of the F-4 Phantom, F-5 Freedom Fighter and manufacturing their own MiG-21 Balalaika, the Soviet was eager to begin their own domestic TSF development and production so as not to rely on the US вЂ“ an old enemy вЂ“ for supply in the BETA War.
