Details related to the incident that occurred in the Novgorod region appeared on the network. We are talking about the MiG-31 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which, as previously reported, rolled out of the runway. Information about the incident was confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. At the same time, it was initially reported that the aircraft did not receive significant damage and would be able to take off after the elimination of technical malfunctions.
However, the photos that appeared on the network give reason to doubt the words about the absence of significant damage. On the published frame, you can see that the front part - the cockpit - is literally torn off from the fighter-interceptor.
It is difficult to say how long it may take to restore this aircraft, and how much after such restoration (if it is possible at all) the aircraft can be operated at planned loads.
A commission of the Russian Aerospace Forces is working at the scene of the incident, investigating the cause of what happened to the MiG-31 during an attempt to take off.
