The point is that both aircraft needed GCI assistance. I know one day the Mig 25 missed the first intercept as it was too slow launching. On its second attempt later in the day it was assessed as successful. In the recovery it violated Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and West German airspace.
Manoeuvres? Like a rocket.
On a 180 or 90 the Foxbat would win. On speed it would get out of jail, but if it missed on the intercept then the Lightning would not lose. If it came down to play I think the Lightning would win.
