Well maybe I exaggerated that !!!afterall it did score Iraq's only air to air kill of Desert Storm.But the Foxbat had virtually no agility & it's range was poor due to it's thirsty engines.The Mig-31 was developed to overcome those flaws.

An Iraqi MiG-25 did get a Predator in December 2002. The Predator launched a Stinger, but the MiGs missile struck first.
