MiG-31 Foxhound: A Hypersonic Missile Truck?

Presently, the MiG-31 Foxhound is considered the standard long-range interceptor of the Russian Air Force, and is expected to be active until the 2030s. The MiG-31 Foxhound was also chosen as the primary carrier aircraft for the Kinzhal hypersonic missile. A “mid-life upgrade” of the MiG-31 Foxhound is currently being procured, and this modification will integrate a number of new strike weapons onto the MiG-31 fighter jet and modernizes most of its systems.

It is not "one" of the fastest combat jets in the world...

It is "the" fastest combat jet in the world 😎

Mig-25 Foxbat is still a quite interesting platform to base a new aircraft off.

[IqbalKhan-egfc]

World state of art and best fighter jet Mig -31

[KondorDCS]

Pretty much every plane nowadays is a missile truck.

[HistoryShell]

Lol, I’m calling it that from now on. A supersonic missile truck

[debbies]

ACTUALLY MIG-31 WAS MADE TOO INTERCEPT SR-71 AN AN-12, BECAUSE THE MIG HAD GUNS AND A MACH 3 SO SR -71 AND AN-12 ENDED.

[vincem]

6:25 says it has a 30mm gun and proceeded to call it a completely different 23 mm gun...

[ethanfairweather]

The MiG-31 is just like the F-4 phantom. It is a very big, very fast, bus.

[johnmaccallum]

Russian and Chinese hypersonics are strategic weapons not tactical and thus will never be used.

[oldfashionedwrx]

Mig 31 is good for stand off weapons and hypersonic missiles. Using glide bombs would be smart.

[DaveSCameron]

800 rounds capacity but 10k shots per minute you say... Hmmm? 🤔

[paulybassman]

mach 3 and cockpit windows are sealed with Pinkgrip 🤣

[jozefhorvat]

Nice video mate. LIKE. Mig 31 is best interceptor in the world !!!

[kirksmith]

Most of the "modern" jets the USA has are designs from the 70s. So they are also antiquated as well.

[mrred]

Mig 31 with hypersonic missile is a doomsday weapons 👍👍👍

[myplane]

Yeah, that is not what MFDs look like (5:23). Those are analog instruments wheres MFDs look like iPads.
Also, the gun is a 23mm with a standard loadout of 260 rounds but can fit up to 800 (not sure what the consequences of that would be).

MIKOYAN MiG - 31 FIGHTER JET RUSSIA 💪🔥💪🔥

[galicije]

МиГ-31БМ have new R-37 missiles and also R74s and R-77-1 instead of old R-60 or R-40DT missiles...

BMs new Zaslon AM PESA radar, most powerful radar put in any plane at this time...

[rafaelgomez]

Obsolete: uneuseful for grounf attack (the actual field of war combat), analogic flicth instruments and not stealth.

[yethuraj]

Their are reports of America hav8ng Soviet planes in different era in their secret museums. America please give me an mig engine and its wings so I could put it in my motorcycle and cruise in hypersonic speeds. Just kidding.
