I recall that Western experts were surprised that the MIG-25 was not built mostly of titanium like US Mach 2+ jets, but of steel.

Robert K. Dornan, who was running for Congress at the time, called the MiG-25 a "flying tank."

The -25 has the turning radius of B-52 towing a glider

B-1 Bob. He was a character. I worked in the same building for a while, where his district office was, in Garden Grove (CA). Thanks for the memory ;)
