That thing is the jet equivalent of a an LS powered gokart.

those motors are looking a little sketchy there, time for an overhaul - but the noise is good.

An LS go kart that’s running on 7 cylinders...

It looks like a 5/3 scale F-15 that was slapped together over a drunken weekend by not particularly talented trade school kids as a final project. I like it.

With you there. What can I say, I’m a guy. I like loud noises and explosions.

When it’s realized the pilot could stand up inside the exhaust, then they don’t look so bad.
[edit] Oh, I see what you mean. The left engine burner section seems a bit weak. The Russian engines are mostly throw aways and don’t get overhauled; replaced. I wonder if they have clogged injectors on that burner section. They should throw a few thousand pounds of fuel injector cleaner in there. :)

Well those Turmansky powerplants weren’t exactly a byword for reliability or quality. Doesn’t matter though, this MiG-25PU along with the rest of the Foxbat fleet has finally retired from VVS service.
