Naval aviation Pacific Fleet received another upgraded MiG-31BM

Marine aviation Pacific fleet (Pacific Fleet) replenished with another modernized fighter-interceptor MiG-31BM. This was reported by the press service of the Eastern Military District in the Pacific Fleet.

During the repair and modernization, the high-altitude fighter received the latest avionics and electronic systems, as well as improved tactical characteristics, which significantly increases its combat capabilities

- said in a BBO report.

The press service noted that in the near future the personnel of the fighter squadron will begin to prepare a new aircraft for combat duty on air defense. Earlier it was reported that the upgraded aircraft entered service with a mixed aviation regiment deployed at the Yelizovo Pacific Fleet airfield.

MiG-31 (NATO - Foxhound - foxhound) is an all-weather double supersonic fighter-interceptor of long-range radius. It is designed to intercept and destroy air targets in any altitude range, at any time of the day, in simple and difficult weather conditions. Without refueling, the aircraft is able to fly over distances of up to 3 thousand km. Its ceiling is 20,5 km. The average duration of a flight without refueling is 3,3 hours. A group of four interceptors is able to control the space, the length of which along the front is 800-900 km.

The old men of Migi 31 will still serve Russia .. That’s what they could do in the USSR! They thought about us, about the gouging that the USSR profiled ..

[Alexey Sommer]

Powerful airplane.
They differ from the 5th generation only in "stealth" ...
Is she needed?
I was born in the USSR and live in Russia. And I don’t think that we are eating the inheritance.

Well it happens, I, too, was born in the USSR!

There is no need to divide the people of our country into those who are "before" and who are "after." I have lived most of my life in the USSR and I do not consider myself a stranger in Russia, "gouging", "profiling the USSR". If you think that you have profited, then write so - not "about us", but "about me"

In what you are right .. We and my generation are delayed .. Are you satisfied?
But you have to raise with us .. So far you have no qualifications!
It’s scary for you to leave the country ..!

But it is not necessary to enroll everything in a row, including those who now live in modern Russia, in "gouges" and "profukols." Think about your comment, to which I answered you.

Serve then they still serve. The only question is - how long? After all, nothing has been invented to replace them. Yes, and did not even start to invent, it seems.

[knn54]

The MiG-31 can launch Daggers. The aircraft is potentially capable of intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles.
We look to the future, however.

No. An interceptor is an interceptor, and the one with the "Dagger" is a special aircraft, modified for this case. Perhaps he will not be able to work in parallel as an interceptor. Because (according to rumors) they even remove the radar station from them ... The famous ...

But the interceptors were modified for the carriers of the "Daggers". What prevents further development?

I think the lack of an aircraft to replace the MiG-31 hinders. The point is to take aircraft from the interceptor that are already in demand and will not be superfluous? Let the "Daggers" cling to Carcasses - there is more foolishness and space. And the MiG-31 will do its job.

20 kilometer

The MiG-21 also flew at an altitude of 20 kilometers. On May 17, 1967, less than a month before the start of the Six-Day War, a single MiG-21 with cameras took off from Meliz airbase, headed for the Gulf of Suez, then for Jordan. And then - turned to the west and at an altitude of 20 kilometers passed exactly over the Israeli nuclear reactor. The Mirages, which rose in a hurry, did not have time to gain altitude, the Hoks also did not reach the target in height, so the future Brigadier General Abd El Hamid Qadri returned home unharmed.

No, it was much earlier, before the MiG-21s began to be shot down like partridges. And it was not 72, but 67, May 17, 1967, less than a month before the start of the Six Day War, a single MiG- 21 took off with cameras from Meliz airbase, headed for the Gulf of Suez, then - for Jordan. And then - turned to the west and at an altitude of 20 kilometers passed exactly over the Israeli nuclear reactor. The Mirages, which had risen in a hurry, did not have time to gain altitude, the Hoks also did not reach the target in height, so the future Brigadier General Abd El Hamid Qadri returned home safe and sound. Ten days later, Captain Fuad Kamal, squadron commander of the first squadron of the MiG-21 Air Force Egypt, passed at low altitude passed over Tel Aviv. This event had more of a psychological meaning, the Egyptians did not receive any valuable information, but the fact itself is curious. And what, the Jews could not do anything about it? Could not. They simply did not have time to react and raise the planes, and when the Mirages were in the air, it was impossible to catch up with the Egyptians. The scouts were pursued almost to their airbases, they demanded escort in panic, air battles began, but they could not shoot down anyone. The last flight over Israel was carried out by the Egyptians on June 4, 1967. And what happened two days later, we already know. In general, those flights did not help the Arabs much. But everyone had fun. https://zen.yandex.ru/media/mlozha/odin-mig-nad-telavivom-ili-kak-eto-bylo-na-samom-dele-5e29b2b25d6c4b00af6b81a4

[Sky strike fighter]

Su-34 can also.

Khabarovsk military pilots performed flights on Su-34 fighter-bombers, raising them to a height of 17 kilometers in conditions of Far Eastern frosts, the press service of the Eastern Military District said.

Now the average daily temperature in Khabarovsk is below 20 degrees below zero. At an altitude of about 17 kilometers, the air is colder than 55 degrees below zero.

[oldman.]

raising them to a height of 17 kilometers in the conditions of Far Eastern frosts ... in Khabarovsk - below 20 degrees of frost. At an altitude of about 17 kilometers, the air is colder than 55 degrees below zero

And, like, in the summer at H ~ 17 km warmer?
Well, woodpeckers serve in the press service of the Eastern Military District! Well, if only in the press service ...

[serg.shishkov2015]

This beauty I admire every day for exactly 26 years! At home hanging a calendar meter and a half meter, presented on the day of jam in the student hostel! And about 15 years ago, the model also stuck together! near the T-34-76 on the same scale 1/72 seems to be a dwarf!

[rocket757]

In that strategic area, all elements of the armed forces will have to be strengthened. This is an objective necessity.
A good aircraft, it effectively protects our air lines, and now it is becoming a powerful strike unit.

[Lexus]

Twist, everything would be fine. They only receive, individually, repaired with minimal modernization of the weak level of the 90s, and not the shelves, new or substantially reworked. It is recycled, because there is nothing to modify, everything outdated - only replaced. And the new generation is no longer a luxury, but an urgent need. If you make empty promises and wait, you can never wait.

[rocket757]

It is understandable that it is not enough. Immediately I remember "there is no money, but you ......", it is possible, we have to project onto everything that we do.
You can look at it objectively, there are arguments, but you need to objectively look at the situation in the world.
We are not weak now, there are "vigorous" arguments for every aggressor, if anything ....
This, now, is like complacency, for many.
But it is necessary to objectively consider, first of all, how we are developing in general, how we are preparing to meet future challenges ... which will be, it is undoubted !!!
There is no absolute certainty on this issue. This is just annoying.
We will break through, as always, but do not want to sacrifice excessively again and again, saving ourselves, saving the world !!!
Something like this.
The ancestors left a good inheritance, not to fool him completely.

why naval aviation, was it a purely air defense plane?

[kit88]

And because the air defense troops we had the same "was".
Now who is in the Air Force, who is in the Navy.

[Lamata]

The Air Force is not there, there is a VKS, sort of like that. They torn good air defense.

[Sergej1972]

The VKS has the Air Force and the air defense missile defense.

If you can hang a Dagger to it, why not the Navy? Against ships - the very thing.

[Lamata]

Or maybe this is a moment of 31 Amerov’s satellites watching and pursuing them, a sort of space harassment))))

[amr]

Oh, one plane was handed over, and the news was like an aircraft carrier surrendered!

[Lamata]

Well, at least such decent military news, not the draft amendments to the constitution are discussed.

[Dikson]

The car is good .. but sad from the news itself .. one !!!! the plane was modernized and handed over .. And in a year or two, 31 in the parking lots will end .. so what? there is simply no alternative to the aircraft today ..

What to modify? Additional MIG-31 or other types? To launch the dagger, you need the appropriate speed. Otherwise, dvigun will feel very painful. He needs a powerful ramp of oncoming air. If it weren’t, then would these unique machines be redone?
