Historical Overview and Application

The MiG-31 (NATO reporting name: Foxhound) is a Soviet, and later Russian, supersonic heavy interceptor fighter developed in the late 1970s as a successor to the MiG-25. This aircraft entered service in the USSR in 1981 and, to this day (modern times), remains in service with Russia's Air Forces. The MiG-31 was a key element of air defense over the vast expanses of Siberia and the Arctic, as well as providing interception and neutralization of airborne targets, including supersonic bombers and cruise missiles. Used mainly during the Cold War and after its end, it was also operated by Kazakhstan.
