The Russian MiG-31 fighter jet is considered one of the fastest military aircraft in the world and has the latest flight controls. Each of its sorties causes significant concern in Ukraine. This was reported by the US magazine National Interest.
The MiG-31 fighter jet has proved to be a good strike aircraft, which Kiev takes extremely seriously, the National Interest has said. Every time a Russian aircraft takes off from Russian Armed Forces bases near Ukraine, an air alert is announced across the country.
The magazine named the Russian hypersonic missile Kinzhal, carried by the MiG-31, as the main reason for such attention to the aircraft. The huge speed and considerable range of the munition force Kiev to declare an alert in advance to prepare for a strike, the publication explained.
The MiG-31 fighter still remains a “mystery” for the West, so its capabilities cause constant speculation. According to the newspaper, the Russian aircraft is considered one of the fastest military aircraft in the world and has the latest flight controls.
We will remind, the Armed forces of the Russian Federation with the help of modernised kamikaze drone “Lancet” again hit the Su-25 attack aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force (VVSU) at the military airfield Dolgintsevo in Krivoy Rog. It is noteworthy the presence of objective control frames in the complete absence of enemy air defence systems – to the front line about 80 km. Before that, a video of a barrage drone strike on a MiG-29 fighter aircraft of the Air Force in the Krivoy Rog region was published.
