72174 ICM 1/72 Soviet reconnaissance aircraft MIC-25RB

Additional Information

single-Seat high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft - bomber. Created by order of the map of January 29, 1970 on the basis of the scout Mick-25R. Mick-25RB is designed for aerial optical, radio and radar reconnaissance from high altitudes, as well as the application of bomb attacks on stationary area ground targets.In 1969, based on the experience of combat use of aircraft in the middle East, it was decided to expand the functions of the aircraft by equipping it with bomber weapons: low vulnerability and the presence of a high-precision navigation system allowed the MIC-25RB with high accuracy to hit ground targets with known geographical coordinates bombs from heights of more than 20 km and at speeds approaching M=2 around the clock, in any meteorological conditions. Successfully solved the problem of long-range flight at cruising (M = 2.35) speed and speed M = 2.83 with bomber weapons on the outer suspension. The high speed of the aircraft reduced the reaction time when acting on targets identified during reconnaissance flights.
