The RBS version of the MiG-25 is a combined reconnaissance-bomber aircraft but without cameras. Instead, it had a Sablya-E side looking airborne radar. It is one of the highlights of the Riga aviation museum, which, since 2022, is located just off Riga airport, in the village of Skulte.

In spring 2016, this MiG-25RBS was delivered from Helsinki to Tallinn by ferry, and from there оn 6 May by 2 trailers to Tartu (Estonia). The FOXBAT once served in the Soviet Union from East Germany (931 GvORAP). It was then sold and transferred to the Riga Higher Military Aviation Flight School (Latvia). In 1996, it was sold to a Finnish aviation enthusiast mr. Oja at Tampere, who spent a lot of work for its preservation for some twenty years (as pictured). The aircraft carried bort number 25 red later on. He sold eventually the aircraft to the Aviation museum in Tartu (Estonia).

It was quite a surprise to see this MiG-25RBS on the ramp at Pirkkala. It is unknown where exactly the airframe came from. Its civilian owner started a repaint, judging by the fresh paint on the tail and the code 25 was added a good number of years later.
