	~~==Secret Spying Aircraft==~~

	~~In May 1997, a MiG~~-25R aircraft broke the sound barrier over [[Islamabad]] during one of its many secret [[reconnaissance]] missions over Pakistan, emitting a [[sonic boom]]. The sound was mistaken for a bomb blast. While the [[Indian Airforce]] made no official claims about this secret reconnaissance mission, Pakistan did make a statement. It claimed that the pilot aboard the Indian [[MiG-25]] aircraft deliberately sent the [[sonic boom]] to remind the [[Pakistani Airforce]] that it had no equal in its inventory.
	Despite a fully-loaded weight of 40-tonnes, it flew 50 km per minute, faster than a bullet. At its fastest speed, it could even zip faster than [[missiles]]. Thus, it was considered the right weapon for [[spying]]
	The MiG-25 was fitted with powerful 1,200 mm cameras that captured photographs even as it flew thrice the speed of sound, at an altitude three times the height of [[Mount Everest]]. Its cameras could check on [[Delhi]] without leaving [[Bareilly]]. This meant that if it flew over [[Punjab]] or [[Kashmir]]~~, it could easily check on Pakistan too.~~.
