The MiG-31 was developed as an interceptor but when Russia developed the Kinzhal hypersonic ballistic missile they needed an aircraft that could carry the missile's heavy weight so the MiG-31K was developed as an attack aircraft. The normal bomb and missile load of the MiG-31BM was replaced by an adaptation to carry the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal "Dagger" that has a 2,000 km range.
On October 18th, 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the commencement of continuous airspace patrols over the Black Sea, emphasizing that this action is non-threatening and solely aimed at monitoring the situation in the Mediterranean region. During the aerial patrols, MiG-31 aircraft, armed with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, will be accompanied by Su-27 fighters.
Designed as an enhanced version of the MiG-25, the MiG-31 was first flown on September 16th, 1975. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
