Russia’s MiG-31 Foxhounds Proving To Be A Threat To Ukrainian Aircraft
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2023
- The original MiG-31, known to NATO as Foxhound-A, was developed during the Cold War and was intended to protect objects of strategic importance in the Soviet Union against cruise missile attacks launched by bombers and submarines. Since the shortest route from (and to) the probable adversary - the United States - runs through vast expanses in the north of Russia, where the airfield network is very sparse, the MiG-31 needed to have a long range. This, in turn, meant it was a large aircraft - its maximum weight is 46 tons. The need for a quick response to the missile threat resulted in a requirement for a maximum speed of Mach 2.8 (or Mach 2.35 for cruise flight).

Such a badass aircraft. I’m a US veteran but man I can’t help but admire this thing. This is what the MiG-25 should have been
My favourite jet in the world.
Truly a beautiful wonder.
Watching from Somalia! 🔵
Don’t forget about the look down shoot down system which at the time was a game changer and with constant updates it’s still a fantastic piece of kit for the bear to have
look down was SOTA in the 70s.
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. NATO had learnt everything about this jet and Soviet Union needed to have something what would be able to perform the MiG 25's functions but unknown for NATO, I guess.
31 is garbage. And you know it. You just have to find the target. Want to know what makes a Mig31 crew feel bad? A mushroom cloud over their base and they never saw the B2 deliver it. What's worse? When the F22 guns them.

That is just crazy how old it is yet can reach more than Mach 3
Speed doesn't mean shit anymore...
@@N911GT2 it does.. if it didnt... USAF wouldn't be interested in hypersonic missiles.
To european countries which are mostly smaller than big nation's don't really mind about raw speed as their fighters will almost always be in combat range... but in such big air spaces such as USA's and Russia's... speed and range is surely desired. Stealth it's a complement, it didn't replace anything, it just added.

For those who are saying "it doesn't even sold massively like Fs" Russia in first place, did not even offered mig 31 for sale as it has enough characteristics to protect borderlines
They did sell to Kazakhstan

The Mig31 is the most capable, and most feared aircraft in the world. Nothing matches it's 3 models.
Yes. The MIG-31 is the most feared airplane by other aircrafts because of it speed, altitude and detection (MIG-31BM squad) capabilities.
MiG-31K is a dedicated Kinjal platform. This upgrade began five years ago. The planes were completely rebuilt from nuts and bolts.
that plane looks terrifying in person. like i saw godzilla. a chill came over me
😬😬😬
The mig 31 is one of the last interceptor out there beside the tornado
And it sucks. An old F15 can shoot it down easily. That's why you don't see people buying them en mass from Russia but buy instead the F-16 and F-15 planes from the USA. Despite the F15 and F16 being more expensive

@@mz7688 yea hypersonics does change things, but I just don't think Russia has the inventory, money, and now with limited to nonexistent supply on actual military microchips... can produce enough of the R37m to make a difference, and also I don't trust Russian specs of their missles, they tend to extremely extremely say a weapon is better than what it truly is, like their SU 57 or whatever fake 5th gen figther they put out, or their T90m tanks.
But the West is to scared to send anything they got to Ukraine. If they were as sure as you, what's their hold up?
@@atomatlas5595 Well the lowest range the R-37 is supposed to have is 150km, russia sais that its range is 300km, but im pretty sure that even with sanctions, russia is able to produce these missles given the fact that even with sanctions you can get the microchips even tho its harder then without, and the mig-31 can carry other long range missles like the R-27ER wich are supposed to have a range of 75km and also is supersonic but should be much more avalible.
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.
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.
Best interceptor in the world 👍👍👍👍

MiG is not a company, it's a design bureau.
Interceptor aircraft. Hit and run tactics. They aren't maneuverable enough for dogfights.
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
Realy I like this powerful fastest fighters jets
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.?
@@richardblencowe3544 spoiler : zero
It's burning down the house into the ground. Amazing
anything can be shot down or not properly. There are enough incidents around the world. Only that which does not fly does not die.
Question: what's the purpose of the rear landing gear. Are they supposed to do something special for the fighter other than land the plane?
Тележка основных стоек шасси сейчас используется и на Су 34. Боевые самолёты СССР разрабатывались для эксплуатации на неподготовленных аэродромах ( это касается и гражданских самолётах того времени,на случай войны).

Nor the R-40 satellite killer.

ENLARGED MIG 25 SAME FUSELAGE AS MIG 25 UPGRADED FEATURES SPECS SO LENGTH.
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.
Zero ejection seats for what again? That makes absolutely no sense.
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
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.
I think typhoon with meteor missile might have something to say
@@Spartan-jg4bf😅
Fr, also it can reach over. Mach 3 while gen 4,5 fighter can only 2
@@Spartan-jg4bf ya the Raf is really a scary threat now days how many airplanes do they have 20-30 🤣🤣
@mikel1062 The RAF is doing far better than the Russian Air Force, it operates over 500 fixed wing aircraft, including 5th generation aircraft. Unlike Russia RAF aircraft are not crashing every week due to old age and shoddy maintenance 🙄
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.
Such a cool looking aircraft
not one of, but is the fastest.
Concomitantly? 😮
F-15s are not afraid of this, at all.
I have always loved the color the cockpits are painted, a soothing blueish-green, nice
That colour has a significant reason. You will notice it in hospitals psychiatric departments. For its calming effect. Institution green lol
It can lob AA-missiles high and fast. So does the Eurofighter Typhoon 'the thing that climbs and excelerates faster than the legendary british electric lightning!).
(but with 6Meteors instead of just two R-37, so lets get out the good stuff!)
MIG 31 can carry 6 R37M
Main role is high altitude interceptor and stand off strike. It uses Kinzhal to target land and naval targets. NATO has no answer to Kinzhal.

They need to get up there first! A fast climb to 55,000' is impressive but the Foxhound "cruises" at Mach 2.4 able to achieve Mach 2.8+ at 70,000'+. It can descend to 31,000' for a mid-flight refuel, then they're back up into the stratosphere where no other interceptor can be found

Ничего лишнего!...Оружие!!!..
Repurposed to fire Khinzal ballistic missiles. Waste of a good interceptor. Same missile can be launched from a cargo aircraft over the Caspian Sea. Just like the Mig 31. Just like using it as a refueling tanker. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Kinzhal was meant to be a rapid responce weapon, so using MiG-31 had all the sence. Russia just doesn't needed so many interceptors anymore.

Why all the foreigners calling MiG by first designer Mikoyа́n but th throw out second one - Guryevich (which is G in MiG)? MiG (Russian МиГ is for Микоян и Гуревич) = M&G. It's like calling Lockheed Martin just Lockheed. It's at least rude.

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.

The most funny thing is that it has actually been proved to be lethal but there are no buyers
Because small countries just don't need a super duper ultimated interceptor that could accidently go beyond borders even in a routine takeoff accleartion to cruising alttitude😅
lethat to its own pilot isn't really an argument for selling.
Kazakhstan has some but the remaining 300 frames are not for sale.
It was never ever offered for sale in the first place.
The funnier thing is that this channel pretends to be American but is really Russian propaganda 😂
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

Sexiest aircraft there is including NATO.
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. And intruding in a non-remote area will get you splattered from a 1000-km distance by s-400's 17-mach comparably assisted SAMs.

Well, from what I've been hearing recently, especially since the start of the SMO, the complaints are finally getting received by the generals and the ruling parties of Russian Federation! 🙄Or so it seems anyway! I'm originally from the good old Soviet Union and know how our country operates, I'm sure you know what I mean!? Since Putin got the presidency, the forces slowly but surely started to improve, that's for sure!! Not as fast as we would like it to be but nonetheless, it's getting better to serve there now than b4 the end of the USSR!! Mig31 though, in my opinion is still a very potent and unique aircraft and as long as it keeps getting improved, it will keep being one serious piece of kit which scares the hell of the enemy in the sky to this day! It's very high altitude flight capabilities, fast speed and "look down /shoot down" option is often enough to stop enemies flying in that specific airspace alone! Simply saying, Russia just can't do without the Mig31 at all, if they want to have some sort of air superiority and deterrence in the sky!!! We totally NEED TO HAVE the "Foxhound" in our airforce today, tomorrow and for many years to come, unless we end up having something similar to it or even better, to say the least my friend!!! 🇷🇺💪🇷🇺👍🇷🇺✌️🇷🇺👏🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺

Russia without a doubt has the best anti air. That what they focuses since 45. US and NATO focused on offenaive capabilities like aircraft carriers and air force.

@@entropyche3x as long as their S500 and S400 defense system is not put to the test during a conflict, we can only speculate on their effectiveness. their s75 system has destroyed thousands of planes in Vietnam, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reports daily that the S300 systems intercept several cruise missiles. so at the very last report 21 out of 23, which represents more than 90%. if their old systems proved to be effective for their time, I'm willing to bet that to say that their new system is capable of intercepting an old model of aircraft... it comes down to logic. It would have been more complicated to compare without proof of recent systems like the F35 and the S500. but in this case the poor mig29 will be killed by the S500

@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. Stealth means the missle that's been fire at the F 35 can't track and lose its tracking. We ve done testing with S 300 ANZ S400 missles system and they can't shoot down the F35 or even track it. The Israeli literally flew 2 F 35 to bomb Iran pass 10s of S300 and S400 system. Even the S500 can't track it
NATO needs to ship more AIR SUPPORT
UKRAINE needs more SUPPORT.
Ukraine has Patriot Anti-Aircraft, for now.
@@D1AK0NDA ukraine has 25 assorted nasams, iris-t and patriot systems...trying to cover what close to 400 s300, buk and kub systems 'used' to be doing. does that sound right to you?
you dont know what you are asking...
@@operator9858, owning a weapon doesn't mean knowing how to use it well.
Here's w news for you:
"Ukraine said Saturday that a U.S.-supplied Patriot battery was used to intercept an incoming Russian hypersonic missile over the capital, Kyiv, in what is believed to be the first downing of the sophisticated Russian weapon and Ukraine's first use of the U.S. defense system." (reported by the NPR)
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.
weird. Russia might need this vs NATO. But NATO would destroy these np, probably still on the ground.
many countries could not destroy these. But against them, Russia could use any plane.
I don't see any practical niche for this bird post cold war
How they fire missiles with a 400km range have a higher ceiling and can supercruise at mach 2.8. They are so large they carry the worlds largest AA radar. For supreme targeting range.The AIM120d the longest range AA missile the US uses has a range of 180km. NATO let its kit all get obsolete. Only the F-22 stands a chance but it can be tracked, if not necessarily targeted by Russian radar.
song?
It very powerful in falling to ground 😂😂😂😂😂😂
U mean F 35 😆😆😆
Like Arab fighter planes lol.

How?
>> Proving To Be A Threat To Ukrainian Aircraft ...
and a threat to its own pilot. Coming down quite often these things ... .
I thought it was nicknamed Foxbat by NATO? Anyway Foxhound sent Lockheed's Blackbird into early retirement.
Or backfire
Foxbats are Mig 25s.
These are Mig 31s. Aka, Foxhounds.
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.
Who told you that? TASS?!
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.

@@Eric_Von_Yesselstyn let’s talk about NATO as a whole then. F16 is 70s tech as well.
@@Eric_Von_Yesselstyn you called this outdated and antique when it’s made and developed with the same time as NATO aircraft that are so praised.
