It's a flying beast straight out of the Jurassic period lol ... I grew up in a small town where there was a military air force base that houses a squadron interceptor aircraft of type MiG - 25 Foxbat, each time planes take off from tarmac, it's like a volcano exploding with a deafening sound and vibrations in the ground..
I remember when I was at MAKS in 2002, Mig-29 engines made the most dramatic sound. Also remember the Su-47 Berkut with reverse arrowed winds flying over us.
Imagine you have never seen a plane and you don't know what it is, then you hear this sound in the dark, you will think its a dragon or some kind of monster roaring. Think about it.
And you have just explained how our predecessors saw "Gods coming from the sky" and when they fired rockets then "Dragons were shooting fire and burning houses". Gods were of course just members of a more advanced civilization, but for primitive people they were gods. Just like American soldiers which landed on some Polynesian islands were "gods" who came inside of "shiny birds" from the sky. And since Americans shared their food and other stuff with the locals, they were worshiped. The tribes had special rituals, fires and dances at the end of the improvised landing strips, calling for the "silver birds" to come back and bring them food and funny stuff they never saw before. But the war was over and "shiny birds" never came back again.
Heat seeking missile licking its chops, in fact the possibility of a kill is so high because the Mig can't turn the missile will fly wingman until it gets bored and detonate.
Actually I saw a Jet Fighter take off in a conflict zone in full afterburner. It feels and sounds like a rocket. Audio/Video can't capture it accurately because it is too loud. I am not going to name the Jet and Location I saw this haha, but there is many reason why they take off in a hurry. The airfield is within guerilla mortar range haha or there is something inbound they need to intercept quick.
To fully appreciate the effect, you need to witness the real thing. During a 1999 air show in Moscow, single MiG-31 on takeoff was LOUDER than an entire aerobatic team "Russian Knights" on Su-27s. I believe MiG-31 produces infra sound because it generates vibrations of internal organs of (distant) spectators.
Our USMC F-4 Phantoms used to do the same type thing before take-off. they would line up on the runway, rev the engines up twice and on the third rev they would kick in the AB and take off.

That thing is just so awesome and unrivaled even today . It’s like an sr71 but with radar and weapons. No tricks or fancy stuff just tons of power and steel
@@charlesbukowski9836 As far as I understand. It was a joke that it is so heavy (40 tons) that it has its own gravity and therefore the rockets need to develop a speed at which they can escape gravity.
@@TheAlien729 it actually wasn't a joke. Objects actually do orbit around it because of it's gravity created by it's weight.

This is the real reason those interceptors can't dogfight. They rely on BVR missiles only. A Gripen E can shoot him down easy. Using ECW to jam their radars and firing Meteor Missile would splash this Mig very quickly.
