How much percent of chance would a F-104S armed with two AIM-7Es have when it tries to intercept a MiG-25 flying at Mach 2.5 at 75,000 feet?
Attached image, part of a Flight International article dated 26th August 1978 about the Mirage 2000, shows the Mirage 2000’s flight profile when intercepting a high-speed intruder which looks like a MiG-25.
Was the F-104S capable of executing the flight profile described in the attached image?
