A video of MiG-31 flights in the near stratosphere appeared on the web

A video of training flights in the stratosphere of the MiG-31 interceptor aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces has appeared on the Web. The video was posted on its YouTube channel by the Zvezda TV channel.

As stated in the description of the video, young pilots of the Perm Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Central Military District took part in the flights. On their MiG-31s, they made their first flights at maximum altitudes and speeds in the near layers of the stratosphere. The video shows the takeoff of a fighter, climb and the flight itself, filmed from the cockpit.



The Central Military District reported that the flights took place as part of the tactical flight exercises of the fighter aviation regiment.


The MiG-31 is a long-range supersonic high-altitude all-weather fighter-interceptor. Designed to intercept and destroy air targets at extremely low, low, medium and high altitudes, in simple and difficult weather conditions, when the enemy uses active and passive radar jamming.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense announced its intention to extend the life of these aircraft until the mid-2030s, which will allow them to be kept in service until a full-fledged replacement is created in the form of a "promising long-range intercept aviation complex" (PAK DP or MiG-41).

            This is not "news", just people have shared some nice shots. Well, if you are a MiG pilot and every day you see this through the glazing of the lantern, then, of course, nothing special for you. Have a good flight!

      What a petty quibble. They understand that all these videos are staged nonsense.
      Here the point is different. Young pilots flew by, completed the task, showed their skills, and learned something else. On an old but well made car that will still serve well. You need to be happy for them, and not grumble over trifles.

      The MiG-31 is a long-range supersonic high-altitude all-weather fighter-interceptor.

      The truth is that the only reason for the operation of the "unparalleled interceptor" in the ranks of the Aerospace Forces is the insufficient number of fighter aircraft

      If you write off the MiG-31, then the number of combat-ready fighter aircraft will immediately decrease by a third

      In fact, this aircraft lost its relevance 20-30 years ago, with the development of 4th generation fighters. When any, light and heavy super-maneuverable fighters, due to new radars, the development of airborne missile systems and avionics, were able to fight at long distances. The need for specialized long-range missile carriers has disappeared.

      The MiG-31, unlike its peers, never had the opportunity to conduct a maneuverable battle. The achieved speed characteristics a) in modern conditions have no combat value, will not help and will not save B) most of the 4th generation fighters, the same F-15, are not far behind in speed

      And what is the difference between the quality of radars and MiG missiles from the Su-35 or F-35 with its AFAR - for a generation to come. It makes no sense to compare visibility and EPR. MiG-31 will be seen by everyone, but he will not see anyone

      The MiG-31 needs to be replaced with new equipment, and not compliments about “has no analogues”. And any attempt to extend its operation is a useless PR and cutting funds

        Are you a great air defense specialist? Besides, how are you with geography? What country do you live in?
        I do not know that the Mig 25 and Mig 31 were created for air defense, to perform specific tasks where it is very expensive to install / operate something else even now.
        Our country is large, the length of the borders is huge, there are many territories with a harsh climate ... our ancestors solved the problem of protecting the country in a way available to them, and they did it effectively! Even now, there are no other tools that can solve such problems as effectively without excessive costs!

          The 42-ton MiG-31, which has the same fuel consumption as two Su-27s, requires 2-3 times longer runway for takeoff / run, undoubtedlyeasier to operate, without excessive costs?

          Use logic sometimes, and do not throw cliches

          Yes, the ancestors decided. After 40 years, the technical appearance of aviation has completely changed

            Simple logic - when it is NECESSARY to cover a huge space, the length of borders, on that part of the land where EVERYTHING freezes, the delivery of goods is associated with high costs and other circumstances of that territory.
            Take a calculator and calculate the costs, if such an accountant is cool, and even in the specifics of air defense you understand.
            A couple more characteristic touches ... does the concept ALL-WEATHER mean anything to you? ask the pilots, in what weather can those SUs fly, and in what MIG 31? For air defense, there is no flight weather! enemy, you WILL NOT choose the weather that is convenient for you!
            Still such, Schaub to block the radius of action of a moment with no matter how acceptable speed TANKERS WITH FUEL should be dragged behind ALL other aircraft and still they will not have time anywhere in time! But the enemy will not announce the raid in advance!
            So it turns out that the total economy, the efficiency of MIL 31, is better than any other method that exists even now!
            We will argue for later, when it will be later.

              As far as I know, 63 Guards IAP - Amderma-2 Novaya Zemlya, was armed with the Su-27. And the weather on Novaya Zemlya was such that I started in the DS in the morning, a week later it changed - a blizzard. request

                Well, in what weather can Mig take off, and in what Su .... is there a difference?
                There are nuances of the operation of the on-board radar complex in various weather conditions .... etc.
                In total, it turns out that Su cannot replace the Mig always and in everything, although it is also used as an air defense element.

              You yourself invented this nonsense and ascribe it to me

              The MiG-31, due to its lower thrust-to-weight ratio, has several times longer takeoff / run length than the Su-27
              And twice the fuel consumption per hour of flight

              Therefore, he does not have any advantages when basing "where everything freezes and the delivery of goods is associated with great difficulties" (what the comrade wrote above)

                  This is your not very clever interpretation.

                  The moment has a much longer takeoff / run. This means he needs to clear a larger section of the runway - in case of an urgent departure in adverse conditions

                  There are no advantages in basing there, some difficulties compared to other types of fighters in service with the Aerospace Forces

        a) in modern conditions they have no combat value, ....... the combat value 31 is very high. ..the main advantage is the height and continuous maximum speed, all this allows you to cover a huge territory inaccessible to anyone yet. and our territory is huge. and ground air defense systems are not very

          the main advantage is the height and continuous maximum speed, all this allows you to cover a huge territory

          All your chatter is crossed out by one fact - the Su-27 has a larger combat radius
          you my friend are mistaken. f-15 reaches a speed of two sounds for a short time, airframe heating and fuel consumption are affected ...

          You, my friend, confused the fighters with the SR-71 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. That one, yes, could spend an hour and a half on 3 swings - due to the extreme design, which could not be refueled on the ground.

          F-ka, our Su and Mig - their time at 2-2,5M is calculated in minutes. Mig-25 could spend as much as 8 minutes
          because 31 was originally sharpened for detecting targets on the underlying surface

          This requires a modern radar, the MiG-31 does not have this

          The detection distance of the RR against the background of the underlying surface is 20 km, unsatisfactory
          because in this form, the MiG-31 is the crown of the creation of patrol interceptor fighters

          In our time, this task was taken by multifunctional fighters 4+

            All your chatter is canceled out by one fact - the Su-27 has a larger combat radius .... you are engaged in boltology .... we read from the manufacturer, ... the Su-35 as the latest version of the Su-27 line has a fuel reserve of 11000 liters at a consumption two AL-31F engines at full afterburner where it "squeezes out" two sounds of almost 2 liters per engine, more precisely 1,92 kg · kgf / hour, for one engine, that is, on its 11000 at a speed of 2350 it will take only 16 minutes
            now on the MiG-31 ... in the non-afterburner mode, two D-30 "fogs" will speed up the 31st 2500 km per hour with a flow rate of 0,72 kg / kgf h., at the afterburner 3000 km per hour the same almost 2 kg kgf / hour with almost 20000 liters of carpets .....
            So where will the MiG-31 and Su-35 interceptors be in 16 minutes ???

              Before using the manufacturer's data, first grab a primer and learn to read
              Or at least not lie - neither to yourself nor to others

              2,3M is the afterburner.

              Specified flow rate 0,72 - takeoff

              No engine of that era in non-afterburner modecould not accelerate the fighter to speeds of Mach 2

              Finally, if you knew a little and knew how to think with your head, you would immediately understand that with the same thrust indicators Su and Mig the equality you described is physically impracticable (non-afterburner mode, Su has subsonic sound, Mig-31 with D-30 engine, 2500 km / h) fool

        It is not informative at what altitude they train, it is not indicated there, but the fact that the Mig can fly higher than almost all other planes is well known.

          This is a different question. The stratosphere has a "lower layer", but no neighbor.

            Yes, but we’re sitting here, we are not surprised at anything ... they are such experts, Wikipedia is their main book.

      Not an expert, of course. but it seems that the Urals should be blown away by gases, about 200 meters.

        Is he driving the afterburner, in your opinion? Taxiing is at low throttle. There, even the light step-ladder did not move.

        Yes, yes, in Israel, dear, it still flies. Lift your face, he will take a picture of you. In 1979, great photos were obtained, of Jewish women on the beach

      As far as I remember from school, the stratosphere is the upper layer of the atmosphere. And what is the "near" layer - ???

      "Eye-cuts" combination near stratosphere... Somehow it sounds not in Russian. Usually they say "the lower layers of the stratosphere"

        The "eye-catching" combination of the near layers of the stratosphere. Somehow it sounds not in Russian ... but all aviation is not in Russian, nevertheless. .... the near and lower layers of the atmosphere is a profanation. layers in aviation are divided into the first layer of the tropopause (20 km), where there is a specific pressure drop boundary from 12 KPa to 1 KPa, the second layer of the tropopause occurs at altitudes of more than 30 km where the pressure drops from 1 KPa to 0.5 KPa

      This is your not very clever interpretation.

      The moment has a much longer takeoff / run. This means he needs to clear a larger section of the runway - in case of an urgent departure in adverse conditions

      There are no advantages in basing there, some difficulties compared to other types of fighters in service with the Aerospace Forces

      No benefits, nothing. Technique of another era

      Have you ever been a pilot? As for me, a windbag. I once flew fighters and I know how much. And from you, except for balabolism, I heard nothing intelligible.
      The takeoff run of the MiG-31 is 1200m, the run is 800m. The standard strip length is 2500 meters.
      Read at least for a start wikipedia, not to mention the instructions to the crew!
