Beautiful planes, biggest downfall of those su's and mig's is that they cannot operate from makeshift public road airstrips like finnish and swedish fighters.

According to this source, MiG-25/29 can take off from grass fields/unpaved airstrips.

As Jan mentioned, many Russian aircraft have traditionally been designed for operation from unpaved airstrips. Even fighters like the MiG-25 or the MiG-29 have (relatively) low-pressure tires (10 bar / 150 psi) which allows their operation from unprepared airstrips. The MiG-29 can even close its air intakes to prevent foreign object damage, sucking air through louvres on the upper wing. Here is a picture of the intake of a Polish MiG-29 in take-off configuration, taken from this website:

With the MiG-25, you could take off from a grass strip, climb to FL800 and fly at Mach 3, and land on that grass strip again. Fascinating!

MiG 23(I think)

MiG 17

MiG 15

MiG 29

And, in interests of balance, this is apparently a MiG 21 shooting down one on those Israeli Mirage III copies.

You are all welcome
