At the time? That's 70s era plane. We Americans operate By the beginning of 2022 the U.S. Air Force operated approximately 490 stealth fighters, of which 185 were F-22s and a further 305 were F-35As. These were supplemented by 35 F-35Cs in the U.S. Navy and 137 F-35Bs and F-35Cs in the Marines, bringing the total fleet to 662 aircraft.
China only operates 110 gen 5 planes that aren't really a tenth of the stealth our F-22 are. Their radar section that is. Our F-22 is a golfball In numeric terms, it corresponds to around 0.0001 m2 of radar cross section (RCS). This is around 100,000 times smaller than the radar cross section of a typical fighter, which results in the F-22 getting detected at 1/17.5 of the detection range of a typical fighter the J-Dawgs stealth Taiwan, measuring the J-20's RCS from the side, concluded it's as big as 20 square meters (even larger than the famously detectable F-15) from that angle.
The MIG - 31 is a unique combat interceptor fighter that has no analogues in the world . The MiG-31 (according to the NATO classification - English Foxhound) is a Soviet two-seat supersonic high-altitude all-weather long-range interceptor fighter. Developed in OKB-155 (now JSC RSC MiG) on the basis of the MiG-25 in the 1970s. The first Soviet combat aircraft of the fourth generation. The MiG-31 is designed to intercept and destroy air targets at extremely low, medium and high altitudes, day and night, in simple and difficult weather conditions, when the enemy uses active and passive radar interference, as well as false thermal targets. A group of four MiG-31 aircraft is capable of controlling the airspace along the front up to 1100 km. Initially, the fighter was designed to intercept aircraft cruise missiles. This aircraft is also used as a reconnaissance and bomber armed with nuclear missiles and bombs, now it is a carrier of hypersonic missiles "Dagger" (Кинжал , Kinzhal) .
It sounds like you actually believe your own propaganda. Russia can't even get air superiority over Ukraine! They wouldn't last long against the top NATO jet fighters.
Probably, the main reason of creating MiG 31 as modified version of MiG 25 was due to hijacking of the latter one by freaking traitor Belenko.

At the armament section we have some inaccuracy. First, the R-60 and R-40T are in past tense, they were removed from the MiG-31 inventory, as the last of them shot by training excersise, plus the BM/BSM conversion/upgrade removed their launcher pylons physically. The GSh-6-23M - as its codename shows - not 30, but 23mm. This cannon has no 800 rounds, the drum magazine has 250 pcs 23x115mm cartridges. The RPM is correct. Nowadays, almost all MiG-31 in active service are a modernized BM or BSM version with R-33, R-37M long range, R-77-1 medium range and R-73 short range missiles. However, a certain amount of airframes were converted to MiG-31K, where the internal cannon was removed, so as the wing pylons and the one and only weapon is the Kinzhal hypersonic ALBM. The anti-radar Kh-31P was the part of the BM upgrade proposal in the early 2000's, so as the KAB-1500 PGM, but from financial standpoint, these capabilities were removed from the project. Now, a new, secondary modification is going on, where the upgraded BM and BSM airframes got some further improvements, such as the long avaited FbW control system from the abandoned, former MiG-31M project, from the late 80's, early 90's. The first modified plane had the test flight in last December.
@@wolfgangselle3272 With a such powerful radar, a data-link and missiles with a such a long range they didn't need to cross into Ukraine airspace at all. Hell, they even don't need to approach the frontline.
Its not mikoyan! Its Mikoyan/ Gureyevitch. Hence it's called MiG, from the combined names of the two legendary engineers. Mikoyan Mig 31 just sounds wrong
MiG 25 didn't meant to be a bomber, nor close ground support, or fighter. It was designed and produced in very short periods of time for one purpose only -- stop SR 71 flying over USSR. after all the plane had new life.
Everyone here is both on and off target. The Mig 25 was designed to intercept anything as fast as possible. If it is a bomber, spy plane, or propeller plane. It was for high-consequence targets that absolutely need to be killed and killed fast.
And a huge phase array radar. The first ever deployed on a serial fighter. And a data-link. Deployed on a serial fighter before the Link-16 was invented.
MiG-31 has never ceased to be a deadly threat. For a short time when AIM-120 could outrange old R-33 missiles US fighters could play kinematic games with MiG-31s missiles, but once it got upgraded to BM standard and got R-37 and R-37M missiles it get back its mantle as the most dangerous non-stealthy air combat plane out there. Even without stealth, it can make life hell for gen-4 fighters. And as for force multiplier aircraft, unless it's a EW aircraft, it's as good as dead when MiG-31 comes hunting.

No F-22 is gonna cruise around in the stratosphere, yhey can barely hold on to 55,0000'! The MiG-31 cruises at Mach 2.4 at 70,000'+. Can achieve Mach 2.8+ and that's not even talk about thier large ground based radar. It's a flying S.A.M. site. It also was able to show the SR-71 project that Russia to, can build some shit.

A Rafale or Eurofighter is NOT going to out do a Mig-31BM in BVR lol.
I like to say the MiG-31 was the gamechanger, the one fighter that created the need for very low observable airfcraft. USA had to develop stealth technology as they couldnt win on speed alone anymore, also the reason why the XB-70 Valkyrie was canceled... .as it made no sense to keep on building supersonic strategic bombers as well... they would be taken down by supersonic interceptors.. Thus the 5th gen was created, only stealth can counter such a menace... unfortunately the ukranians are seeing this first hand as no MiG31 was ever taken down, and yet have scored dozens of kills... that thing plus the R37m is really scary if you're not stealthy.
I will disappoint you and very much. The vaunted "American stealth technologies" This is a whole science. This science is called "Diffraction of magnetic waves" Created in 1965 in the USSR. The head of the scientific group is Ufimtsev. Watch an American film about the creation of the F 117. Chief designer Ben Rich will explain everything to you. Transferring these technologies to the Americans in the 90th year was a trick of the Russians so that the USA would invest in these technologies that have no prospects. In Russia, while the Americans were busy with this crap, they have already created electronic stealth technologies that allow 100% concealment of a fighter and a quantum radar for the SU57 that allows you to see through the created stealth sphere. Launched into serial production in January 2024
Supersonic and the possibility of achieving it is a banal measure of the speed capabilities of an aircraft. To solve combat missions, a very important parameter is the time after which the target will be hit. It doesn't matter for what purpose. Sea, land or air. And, of course, it's very cool when the blow is delivered as quickly as possible. Reducing the time to strike can be achieved in different ways: for example, either a means of destruction flies very quickly at the target, or a carrier of this means flies there very quickly. Well, it is clear that it is absolutely fine if both the means of destruction and the carrier have this feature together. And it's great if the weapon carrier, after striking, dumps into a safe zone - home just as quickly. Better, of course, at supersonic or hypersonic, and even better at superluminal speed.
The Internal Gun is 23mm caliber, NOT 30mm. The exact designation is 6X23mm!!!👍30mm caliber is used usually in single barrel internal gun, usually SU have that gun. May be there are few exception, like SU-24 & MIG-27 they are 6 barrels (I don't remember the exact caliber in mm), but for MIG-31 I am SURE that is 6X23mm!

MIG 31 with its new upgraded PROTON radar system which Russia is the only country with the technology is a treat for every military jets in the world can easily spot and get a radar lock on F-22 and F-35 from 400 kilometers away and can shoot them down from 360 kilometers away.
It will also carry the new Gremlin hypersonic air-air and air-ground missile with a range of 1500 km. The advantage of launching Kinzall from the Mig-31 at high altitude is that the kinetic energy it receives allows it to become truly hypersonic at Mach 5 to 8 depending on the altitude it is released from. The F-16s have no chance against this aircraft that with its radar having a range of 200 m can detect them and destroy them without even leaving Russian territory as it has been doing with the Mig-29 and other Ukraine jets. Hopefully, this will deter any NATO military adventure since it can also take out armor and Russia has hundreds of them in service.
The russians can park a AWACS over western Belarus doing orbits and have 5 or more MIG31s at standoff range well within Belarus with long range Air To Air hypersonic missles and just pick off any F16s or western aircraft attempting to take off from poland into ukraine and
Foxhound has been around a long time! Let's thanks Ukraine for giving Russia the opportunity to rebirth itself and bringing this legacy back into action!
Russian aircraft are crude because they're designed to be more robust. As for combat effectiveness an SU-57 shot down two planes from 217 km which is a world record but in theory all Russian fighters are outclassed by the F-35.
Take a closer look at frame of F-15. If airframe is successfull, new engines, radars and avionics will give you new machine without spending hundreds of millions .

However, a certain amount of airframes were converted to MiG-31K, where the internal cannon was removed, so as the wing pylons and the one and only weapon is the Kinzhal hypersonic ALBM. The anti-radar Kh-31P was the part of the BM upgrade proposal in the early 2000's, so as the KAB-1500 PGM, but from financial standpoint, these capabilities were removed from the project. Now, a new, secondary modification is going on, where the upgraded BM and BSM airframes got some further improvements, such as the long avaited FbW control system from the abandoned, former MiG-31M project, from the late 80's, early 90's. The first modified plane had the test flight in last December.
It might be old but is still a wonderful airframe and shouldn't be under estimated its even cable of deploying Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic nukes.
Two seated Air-crafts are more superior then one seat , in my opinion two brains and team work is better then one + computer.

Its not mikoyan! Its Mikoyan/ Gureyevitch. Hence it's called MiG, from the combined names of the two legendary engineers. Mikoyan Mig 31 just sounds wrong
MiG 25 didn't meant to be a bomber, nor close ground support, or fighter. It was designed and produced in very short periods of time for one purpose only -- stop SR 71 flying over USSR. after all the plane had new life.
Wrong. It grew into that roll. It's main goal was to counter the XB70.
Sorry but you're wrong about the intended use of the mig 25
Everyone here is both on and off target. The Mig 25 was designed to intercept anything as fast as possible. If it is a bomber, spy plane, or propeller plane. It was for high-consequence targets that absolutely need to be killed and killed fast.
How many times did aSR71 over fly Russia.?

MiG-31 has never ceased to be a deadly threat. For a short time when AIM-120 could outrange old R-33 missiles US fighters could play kinematic games with MiG-31s missiles, but once it got upgraded to BM standard and got R-37 and R-37M missiles it get back its mantle as the most dangerous non-stealthy air combat plane out there. Even without stealth, it can make life hell for gen-4 fighters. And as for force multiplier aircraft, unless it's a EW aircraft, it's as good as dead when MiG-31 comes hunting.

You clearly have no idea what the MiG-31 Foxhound is, do you?
It not a fighter jet, it's an interceptor. Fastest one still today. It's also a high altitude defense network. No F-22 is gonna cruise around in the stratosphere, yhey can barely hold on to 55,0000'! The MiG-31 cruises at Mach 2.4 at 70,000'+. Can achieve Mach 2.8+ and that's not even talk about thier large ground based radar. It's a flying S.A.M. site.
It also was able to show the SR-71 project that Russia to, can build some shit. After a few close encounters the US stop the Arctic recon mission to prevent an international incident. It chased away the Blackbird. But you think an F-22 has something to say?
@@no_name4080 "The Mig-31 would not stand a chance against a 5th gen fighter or even 4.5 gen fighters such as the Rafale and the Eurofighter" Ah another one of them Nato/American fanboy with a biased.... Yeah... In a DOGFIGHT/BFM the Mig-31 Defiantly would not stand a chance against Anything that can maneuver thats 4th, 4.5 or 5th gen because it was NOT designed to be a dogfighter. It was designed to fly high altitude, Fast and Sling R-37M's (This missile is Faster and has a longer range than the Amraam & meteor) from Long ranges and then turn around and burn back to base. A Rafale or Eurofighter is NOT going to out do a Mig-31BM in BVR lol.
I like to say the MiG-31 was the gamechanger, the one fighter that created the need for very low observable airfcraft. USA had to develop stealth technology as they couldnt win on speed alone anymore, also the reason why the XB-70 Valkyrie was canceled... .as it made no sense to keep on building supersonic strategic bombers as well... they would be taken down by supersonic interceptors..
Thus the 5th gen was created, only stealth can counter such a menace... unfortunately the ukranians are seeing this first hand as no MiG31 was ever taken down, and yet have scored dozens of kills... that thing plus the R37m is really scary if you're not stealthy.
I will disappoint you and very much.
The vaunted "American stealth technologies" This is a whole science.
This science is called "Diffraction of magnetic waves" Created in 1965 in the USSR. The head of the scientific group is Ufimtsev.
Watch an American film about the creation of the F 117. Chief designer Ben Rich will explain everything to you.
Transferring these technologies to the Americans in the 90th year was a trick of the Russians so that the USA would invest in these technologies that have no prospects.
In Russia, while the Americans were busy with this crap, they have already created electronic stealth technologies that allow 100% concealment of a fighter and a quantum radar for the SU57 that allows you to see through the created stealth sphere. Launched into serial production in January 2024
I hope my Videos will be good as Yours. Very good work.
Concomitantly? 😮
Supersonic and the possibility of achieving it is a banal measure of the speed capabilities of an aircraft. To solve combat missions, a very important parameter is the time after which the target will be hit. It doesn't matter for what purpose. Sea, land or air.
And, of course, it's very cool when the blow is delivered as quickly as possible.
Reducing the time to strike can be achieved in different ways: for example, either a means of destruction flies very quickly at the target, or a carrier of this means flies there very quickly.
Well, it is clear that it is absolutely fine if both the means of destruction and the carrier have this feature together.
And it's great if the weapon carrier, after striking, dumps into a safe zone - home just as quickly. Better, of course, at supersonic or hypersonic, and even better at superluminal speed.
The lord cometh----MiG-31
Isn't this the aircraft a "grandmother" brought down with a jar of tomatoes, according to zelinsky's wife? lol

The Internal Gun is 23mm caliber, NOT 30mm. The exact designation is 6X23mm!!!👍30mm caliber is used usually in single barrel internal gun, usually SU have that gun. May be there are few exception, like SU-24 & MIG-27 they are 6 barrels (I don't remember the exact caliber in mm), but for MIG-31 I am SURE that is 6X23mm!
MIG-27, It was first armed with the GSh-6-23M Gatling gun, but this was later replaced by a new 30 mm GSh-6-30 six-barrel cannon with 260 rounds

All those weapons that you mentioned have zero capability when faced with the United States' weapon system.
Imagine 3 Russian soldiers can be easily burned alive in a T-90 tank by 1 Ukrainian soldier with an American made Javelin.
Does this sound right to you?
@@D1AK0NDA the US has not invested into air defense systems like russia has and they have many advantages over our own. and if they did shoot down a hypersonic it was either luck, or they are mislabeling. 'again' as the last ukrianian spokesman admitted on his way out the door last time such a claim was made.
and we have javelin sure, but they have a whole range of atgm systems designed to kill western tanks as well and can actually afford to mass produce them while ukraine has burned through at least a decades worth of javelin stocks already.
and russian has 140 million people and has only done one and may be starting to alrady do a 2nd one while ukraine started with 38 million and after the refugees and all the people now living in a foreign country they have about 18 million left and are recruiting 60 year old men (as you can verify on their own recruiting page) and pressganging people off the streets and has had to do one mobilization after another.
so no, none of that sounds right at all.

The mig-31's celestial, if classified, real ceiling: 40km= 130k feet (mig-25: 38km, non-classified world record). The mig-31's real, if classified, top speed is 3.5++ mach (mig-25's is 3.5 mach; would you create a less performing plane after losing the previous one to the west and would you for that "feat" develop new, less performing engines?). As for the radar. it's classified too but here is a hint: You can hide below "the horizon!" only if 500km+ away from this thing... so just get inside RUS air space in any remote area and enjoy within minutes a welcoming gauntlet tetrad of 31s backed by full ground-detection support, including magnetic-shadow early detection, glonast AAM guidance till satellite-assisted IR fine-locking and terminal AAM-own radar+optical kill-locking.

So good that neither India nor China bought it despite numerous attempts by the Russians to sell it.
The reason, a concept that is too dated and too specialized. Given its very large radar equivalent area and huge high-speed infrared signature, it doesn't stand a chance against a modern surface-to-air missile or a modern stealth fighter.

@Nemi W you have no idea what you are talking about do you? Any Radar can detect an F 35. Stealth doesn't mean you do see it.

And yet they can't. Some even have difficulty staying in the air....
…and the Russian airforce use them to fire cruise missiles from a safe distance, too scared to engage with the UAF.
watta weapon.
It will also carry the new Gremlin hypersonic air-air and air-ground missile with a range of 1500 km. The advantage of launching Kinzall from the Mig-31 at high altitude is that the kinetic energy it receives allows it to become truly hypersonic at Mach 5 to 8 depending on the altitude it is released from. The F-16s have no chance against this aircraft that with its radar having a range of 200 m can detect them and destroy them without even leaving Russian territory as it has been doing with the Mig-29 and other Ukraine jets. Hopefully, this will deter any NATO military adventure since it can also take out armor and Russia has hundreds of them in service.
