The MiG-31 "Foxhound" is a high-speed, long-range interceptor developed by the Soviet Union to defend vast airspaces. Introduced in the early 1980s, it can reach speeds over Mach 2.8 and operate at altitudes above 20,000 meters. Equipped with advanced Zaslon phased-array radar, the MiG-31 can track multiple targets simultaneously, engaging enemy aircraft and cruise missiles with powerful long-range R-33 missiles. Designed for harsh climates, it remains effective across Russia's expansive territory. The MiG-31 is one of the fastest interceptors worldwide and continues to play a critical role in Russian air defense by securing its northern and eastern borders.
