there is another thread in this forum with a picture of a lybian mig-25RB with AAM
You mean this one?:

That’s a PD (=interceptor with radar). Since you can’t tell the versions apart I’m starting to doubt you ever got close to one, let alone fly it.
on borad the 8th recc/interceptor squadron that i flew with had 25/PD/RB
THE PD in iterceptor/attack role
the RB in recc/iterceptor role
there were experiments conducted by the ministry of defence/ when hussien kamel was in power….on the RB to incoperate french AAM/RADAR INTO the RB as they did with the mig-21…with limited success
thank you
Using the PD in attack role and RB in interceptor? WTF?
That’s a wild claim, as far as I know nobody ever claimed something like this before, so you need to give a few more details.
Just how did they fit the radar in the metallic nose of the RB? :rolleyes:
What particular type of AAM and radar was that?
What do you mean by limited succes?
How many RBs were modified that way?
What is the rationale of converting a precius recce asset into an interceptor, when you had plenty of interceptors and could have bought more from the Soviet Union?
When did you chase those Jordanian F-16 ? What year?
