Come on man. The real threat is the Trump-Russia collusion.
MiG-31 Foxhound is a long-range, two-seat supersonic interceptor aircraft offered by Russian Aircraft Corporation (previously Mikoyan and MiG) principally for the Russian and Kazakhstan air forces. Its maiden flight took place in September 1975.
The MiG-31 aircraft was derived from MiG-25 Foxbat interceptor and is equipped with state-of-the-art digital avionics. (old tech)
MiG-31 can work efficiently in all weather conditions while fulfilling visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR), day and night. MiG-31 was the first soviet fighter aircraft to have true look-down and shoot-down capability.
More than 500 MiG-31 aircraft have been produced, out of which 370 were delivered to the Russian Air Force and 30 are in service with Kazakhstan Air Force.
The remaining aircraft were upgraded to different variants under several upgrade programmes. Only some of the Russian MiG fleet have been upgraded to MiG-31BM standards under the upgrade programme.
Serial production of the MiG-31 began in 1979 and ended in *1994*. So - 15 year production run.
I really like the MiG-31’s demonstrated ability to defend Iraqi airspace while buried in sand. Has to be a big selling point for the Russia’s hottest interceptor.
Why stop with triple? Since we’re just pulling multiplication factors out of the nether regions why not octuple times more effective??
Oh yeah well we can quadruple our effectiveness once we rid ourselves of President Retard 🤪
Putin thanked Biden for Russia making millions off the Russia pipeline, allowing Putin to build new fighter jets.
Biden waiving sanctions on Russian pipeline because ‘it’s almost completely finished’
May 2021
President Biden says he decided to waive sanctions against the Russian-owned company behind the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Germany because “it’s almost completely finished.”
Biden — who will sit down with Russian leader Vladimir Putin next month in Switzerland for the first time as president — was asked by reporters Tuesday why he was allowing the pipeline construction between Russia and Germany, despite it undermining NATO and American interests.
“Because it’s almost completely finished, number one. The idea that anything that — and it’s not like I can allow Germany to do something they’re not,” he said

Triple the Effectiveness.
Flying Barn, can spot it from homeschool homebuilt radar kit, I imagine. I takes like underwing cargo-bays and exhaust like Rodan (mk II) or Ghidra (classic).
Hmmmmm, a Russian built MIG-31 being upgraded to be 3 times more capable, lets see, that should make it a good match for a late model Vietnam era F-4 Phantom II, as long as “Cartman” isn’t flying the F-4, but even then it would probably be a close call.
