Hi!
Four MiG-25Rs were sent to Egypt in 1971 under the cover designation of “X-500”. They overflew Israel in pairs about 20 times and were never intercepted, even though Israeli intelligence generally knew when the overflights were scheduled.
The MiG-25Rs went back home in 1972, though reconnaissance Foxbats were sent back to Egypt in October 1973, after the Yom Kippur War, and remained there into 1974.
It’s seem like an interesting stories.Does anyone here got an extra info on this and pictures of this elusive Foxbats?
