        Fighter long range interception! Where in Syria do you offer long-range interception? Map to help ...
        Yes, and tell me where you are going to shoot and so scarce interceptors?

          Come on, took off, and you control everyone who takes off from Cyprus, Israel and Turkey. Syria's area is not that small. Given the flights of the "coalition" of democracy from Iraq to Turkey, these are significant distances. Don't limit everything to Aleppo.

            Come on, Vyacheslav! I'm about the concept!
            Why fence a garden ?!
            With the functions of air defense, the available forces can cope completely!
            And besides, I’m almost 100% sure that flying on a multifunctional Su-30 is much cheaper.
            Again, so that it constantly hangs in the air, it needs to be refueled, that is, to drive tankers!
            And finally, we return to my second question - where to get airplanes? Moreover, such narrow-minded and necessary in other areas?
            Is it worth it? hi

        The theater is not the same. He can’t turn around there. Moreover, there is the Su-35s, with similar detection characteristics and superior in defeat.

          They did it when the Israelis did not have high-altitude air defense systems. 40 years have passed since then or not yet?

        He, in fact, there is little space in Syria. And it's still more of an interceptor.

      That's right, for this it was developed in the USSR! The old man will still serve the Motherland ...
      Supersonic, high-altitude .... He still drives, all "inquisitive" in our sky and if he can hit anything!
      Here's an article on VO was back in 2013 .... Read interestingly and compare!

      I’m looking at how much they’re doing - that's great! Just a question!? - and how many of those will be sold to the side? And this is a fact! - and not only in aviation (I understand that the changed and that the military need to live).

    22 mig31 upgraded this year, it is power! this complex is the pride of our vks. as I understand it, it is simply irreplaceable and necessary for the fight against all air goals. not to mention the fact that the 31st is also a command center, a gunner at the target for dryers and twigs. much more. In general, we are waiting for the promised instant 41, which will go on its shift on the 31st.

      According to Borisov, the aircraft is being upgraded at the Sokol plant in Nizhny Novgorod, with which the military department signed a contract for the restoration, repair, restoration and extension of the 113 MiG-31 resource.

      In total, from the 1975 to the 1994 year, the 519 fighter was built. As of 2016, the 247 MiG-31Б / MiG-31БС / MiG-31БМ / MiG-31БСМ are in service with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and the 32 fighter is also serving in Kazakhstan.

    The MiG returned to, because all engines for this rarity were brought to the Lenin region. These machines were good for their time, and now they are nothing.

    It is our happiness that these "rarities" did not have time to be cut into metal. Upgraded, with new weapons, avionics, etc., the MiG-31 is hardly inferior to anyone in its class. And for the protection of the northern direction, they are generally irreplaceable.

      In its class, for sure - because no one else in the world has machines of this class - only MiG-25 and MiG-31, respectively.
      The MiG-31BM is a supersonic high-altitude S-400, a very dangerous vehicle for any enemy, and absolutely irreplaceable in the conditions of our "latitudes".

    do not fence in nonsense ... there is still no analogue to it anywhere in the world ... a unique pepelats ... and along with I 16 and Mig 15 (recognized as the best in their time) ... "25-31" from the same series of outstanding aircraft

    there are NO such interceptors anywhere in the world (not that they are not inferior), for the sake of truth, largely because of our vast territory .. but this does not plead with its merits .. Not for nothing during the Gorbachev period, the Americans in the negotiations raised the question of removing Mig from the military Duty (it says something)
