It's a quirk of the original type..... as designed it has one of the largest and most powerful radar arrays on any combat aircraft short of an AWACS. The Soviet Airforce thought it could shoot down an SR-71, and evidently the USAF did to because they were careful about making SR-71 flights near where Mig-31's were stationed. It doesn't have the 'cool' factor, but it's a different kind of monster. While the predecessor Mig-25 was notorious for microwaving rabbits on the runway. And I thought the first Nostromo installation was functional? Maybe I misunderstood our conversation....

Quote: I can say right now that F-SOG will want a flight of six. Two with the appropriate miniaturized components, and four stripped. These are for GJ operations.It's still up in the air. People may yet object to its existance on a number of grounds - and speaking as a terrible salesman, there're probably better spacecraft out there by far by more advanced builders.
