All modern fighters (except for the fifth generation fighter aircraft) are not fully supersonic, since their supersonic flight time is limited to 515 minutes, due to various kinds of restrictions in the airframe design. I assume the author is speaking only of Russian aircraft, such as the predecessor MiG-25 that could dash at Mach 2.5 and burn out its engines in the process.

Duration of the MiG-31 supersonic flight is only limited by the fuel supply Would that not be the limiting factor of all supersonic aircraft?

Wasn’t the Mig-31 a revamp of the Mig-25 Foxbat?

“The MiG-31 is capable of intercepting and destroying any target from low-flying satellites to cruise missiles. A group of interceptors can control a large portion of air space, by directing fighters to any target, as well as ground-based anti-aircraft missiles.”
