Ceci est ma Vie

I read the newspaper report in the Indian Express today....the IAF has officially declared that the MIG 25 foxbats ,of which India had only 5, will be phased out this year.

The MIG 25 was for long the most advanced spy plane outside the USAF.......it flew in the stratosphere and for the major part of its life cud not be detected by any chinese or pakistani radar.It was the largest plane of its kind with an enormous wingspan and almost entirely havd built.The plane had famously broken into the Pakistani airspace during Rajiv gandhi`s tenure and even went uptil Islamabad.It cud only be detected b'cos it created a sonic boom.The Pakistanis let looke their F-16s.....but to no use...they cud not even see the Foxbat.

Always kept under veils of secrecy since its acquisition in the early 1980s, the super spy plane has never been shown in public and the exploits of its daredevil pilots, though recorded, are not allowed to hit the limelight

So it will be gone soon....

and u bet the IAF shall miss it...
