November 26, 2010: Russia has grounded all of its MiG-31 interceptors after one crashed. The 200 or so in service will be examined to see if there is a common defect that might cause others to crash. MiG aircraft in general have a reputation for these kinds of problems....frpa

All Russian fighters are just DFC’s waiting to happen...

I love that — “MiG aircraft in general have these kinds of problems”. That’s particularly true when they’re in combat in Arab airforces. Thanks FreeAtlanta.
