ORIGINAL: Warhorse64 Mig-25R is not invulnerable, I've shot down several with AIM-54s. It is, however, able to fly faster on burner than many AAMs move, so unless you manage to completely surprise it, shooting with, eg, AIM-7 or AIM-9 is pointless ... [:(] It is also capable of reaching Very High Altitude, something which most other A/C and a lot of air-to-air missiles and SAMs cannot do. So in truth while it is not invulnerable, it does have the 2 main advantages (altitude and speed) that make it very hard to intercept. That is why it is still one of the best recon aircraft in existance. SR-71 also has these advantages and it is equally as hard to intercept.
