MiG-31I fighters with Kinzhal hypersonic systems deployed to the Kaliningrad region

The Russian Defense Ministry has reinforced the Kaliningrad region with fighters with the Kinzhal hypersonic system. According to the military department, three MiG-31I (K) have been deployed to the region.

As reported, three MiG-31I fighters with the Kinzhal hypersonic system have been deployed to the Chkalovsk airfield to carry out strategic deterrence. In the future, round-the-clock duty of aircraft with complexes will be organized.

Today, August 18, 2022, as part of the implementation of additional strategic deterrence measures, three MiG-31I (K) aircraft with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were relocated to the Chkalovsk airfield in the Kaliningrad region

- said in a statement.

The newest Russian air complex "Kinzhal" includes the MiG-31 fighter-interceptor, specially upgraded as a carrier of a hypersonic missile, which is aviation variant of the OTRK Iskander-M rocket.

The formation of the first MiG-31 air regiment with the Kinzhal complex was reported at the end of last year, the regiment covers the southern direction, but, if necessary, can also work in the western direction. In June last, the Ministry of Defense announced plans to deploy Kinzhal hypersonic systems in the western direction. Given that the Kinzhal missile is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 2 km (data from open sources), the complex can hit targets in a significant depth of enemy defense. Earlier, NATO admitted that they do not have missile defense systems capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles.

I hope with yao warheads, otherwise they won’t understand that everything is serious.

[cash]

of course with nuclear ones, after all, strategic deterrence :) without nuclear weapons with three hypersonic missiles, it’s possible to make a big rustle, but not unacceptable damage

Firstly, Caliber is not a hypersonic missile!

Secondly, the missile launcher of the Kinzhal complex (MiGu-31K) is not a hypersonic aircraft and therefore does not accelerate to hypersonic speed, but only to supersonic and the size of the Kaliningrad region. enough for that. The missile of the Dagger complex accelerates to hypersonic speed after separation from the aircraft.

Why spend long-range Caliber on the Baltics?
It’s easier to hit with Iskanders, especially since they are on both sides of the Baltic states (near Lithuania and near Estonia).

It will reach the Balts for a very long time, until they fly on their heads!

[tralflot1832]

There is a runway in Kilpah, there are no planes at all. The village is more alive than dead. I read them in VK, this is how they differ to the north, they don’t suffer from pessimism. They have one problem now, a garage thief has appeared. And the Migis are more likely from Siberia. It seems that the regiment is based there.

The 31st have never been based in Kilpah.

With what fright did Iskander become the "father" of the Dagger? Where did such crazy information come from at all ???

[km-21]

If these MiGs are stored in the open, they can be destroyed in much the same way as at the air base in Saki. In this case, the use of their transfer is not too much.

Really. Purely for demonstration, did they transfer something closer to the border? They, in the case of a nix, cannot fly from the places of the PD?

Worse, in the Kaliningrad region, airfields are covered with 155mm shells from Polish self-propelled guns

Ishka is a “serial” device, and Kashka is rather a demonstrator of possibilities. They are also different internally. And the name 31I has repeatedly slipped in the press

MiG-31I "Ishim"

According to the Deputy General Designer of the OKB im. Mikoyan A. Belosvet, since 1997 it began developing a system for launching spacecraft into near-Earth orbits using a converted MiG-31 interceptor. The experience gained by the Design Bureau as a result of experiments on the creation of the MiG-31D anti-satellite fighter was taken as the basis. A commercial launch vehicle RN-S with a carrying capacity of 40-200 kg should be launched from a flying launcher - a MiG-31D fighter flying at an altitude of about 17000 m at a speed of 3000 km / h. The missile is being developed by Vympel Design Bureau, which specializes in the creation of air-to-air missiles. The first pilot launch of this launch vehicle was scheduled for 1999-2000.
At the Asian Aerospace 2006 exhibition (Singapore), KazKosmos from Kazakhstan for the first time publicly presented the Ishim, a promising aircraft-rocket system for launching into orbit, created on the basis of the MiG-31D aircraft. According to the company's materials, "Ishim" is designed for the rapid launch of a large number of small satellites into various orbits. According to experts of KazCosmos, in the 31st century, it will be necessary to launch and maintain various constellations of small satellites in orbit, and the complex based on the MiG-XNUMXD aircraft can serve as the best means for this.
The complex includes two aircraft carriers, designated MiG-31I, a three-stage launch vehicle suspended between the engine nacelles, as well as an airborne command and measurement complex based on the Il-76MD aircraft. The takeoff weight of the MiG-31I aircraft with a launch vehicle is 50 tons, the flight range to the launch point is 600 km, the altitude of the launch point is from 15 to 18 km, the speed at the launch point is 2120-2230 km/h.
It is proposed to use the Ishim complex from the territory of the customer state when the aircraft is based at a first-class airfield. The Ishim complex is being created in cooperation with RAC MiG (developer of the aircraft carrier) and the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering (developer of the rocket).
KazCosmos also proposes to use the Sary-Shagan test site complex for international projects.

You're right. Except for 1 Dagger, the MiG-31K cannot
carry no other weapons. Except for the gun.

The dagger looks completely different.
I inserted the photo because the MiG flies painfully beautiful and predatory.

[Shamil88]

Three planes are nothing at all, do you think NATO will be afraid of this? They probably laughed rather, in 6 months we launched thousands of cruise missiles across Ukraine, and before victory, as far as China on a turtle, the Kaliningrad region is shot through by MLRS, I don’t see much point in placing them there

In the Far East, the turtle will very quickly reach the Chinese border, and in the Kaliningrad region and 3 carriers of Daggers can change the weather, although it would not hurt to place Zircons there. Against the backdrop of nuclear blackmail with ZAS, the stakes are rising, let the American mongrels get a little nervous.

Ummm .... Isn't the carrier of the "Dagger" a MIG-31K? MIG-31I, "Ishim", it seems, the carrier of anti-satellite missiles, was in one copy, remained in Kazakhstan, now the topic, it seems, is being revived

The formation of the first MiG-31 air regiment with the Kinzhal complex was reported at the end of last year, the regiment covers the southern direction, but, if necessary, can also work in the western direction.

It is probably possible and even necessary to create several such air regiments. Our country is very big. This is not the case, like this, to transfer from one direction to another.

[Dikson]

There aren't many of these cars. And there won't be any new ones.

[Dikson]

It is not very clear why these machines should be jeopardized .. "round-the-clock duty" with three machines .. - this is very loudly said .. We seem to be standing in pairs on the database .. or has everything in the VKS already changed? MLRS strike on the runway - and all duty will end .. And in the light of the latest Crimean troubles ..- and MLRS is not necessary, DRG with a mortar is enough .. Well, of course, at least in Paris, at least in Brussels, at least in Berlin .. Or all three at once .. Most likely this is a temporary relocation in honor of the arrival of a dear guest from the UN .. so, for prevention .. - so that all kinds of Poles do not have bad thoughts ..

[agoran]

Well, in general, there are two pairs on the database.
And who told you that they are standing in Chkalovsk, and not in Chernyakhovsk or Nivensky.

[Dikson]

Two, four .. and what is written in our article? ))) It’s better not to approach the question of where they stand in modern times - you can easily get an article .. Let the enemy guess .. although .. why guess when everything from the satellite is in full view ..

The move is correct and timely. And if the "Dagger" also has a thermonuclear blade, there is no price for this "move". Let Europe think about the fate of that "lucky one" who decided to test Russia in a knife fight ...

[iouris]

I will tell you this: it is human nature to make mistakes, therefore only a nuclear war will confirm the correctness of this decision (but we will not know the result).

[agoran]

Well, Warsaw is definitely kirdyk.
Why 3? A couple on duty, one in reserve.
By the way, from Chernyakhovsk, EMNIP "alumina", a pair of MiG-25s passed over the whole of Europe, Israel, which frightened the Jewish aunt-leader at that time.

While it takes off and accelerates in Kaliningrad, it is already possible to intercept the Polish Aegis from the same ones. And then they crumble on the ground, the land is there, piglet. Goal is number one.
