        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?

  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).

In general, we are waiting for the promised instant 41, which will go on its shift on the 31st.

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".

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)
