    That is a little curious... without new orders Wink

    Most probably new orders were made, but not given to public.

    Mig-41 or Mig-31 topic ? I preferred Mig-31, as there were no mention on Mig-41, even though we all know what about it. I doubt it will be another Yak, or Sukhoi.

    Interceptor Alert: Russia's MiG-31 Replacement Is Underway


    Dave Majumdar

    December 31, 2015

    Russia is proceeding with the development of a new interceptor to replace the Mikoyan MiG-31 Foxhound.

    In fact, according to Russian industry officials, work on the new warplane is well underway. Russia’s reason for embarking on the project is simple: the MiG-31 has been out of production since 1994, but Moscow still has to defend its vast airspace. If anything, the demand on the MiG-31 fleet has increased since the fall of the Soviet Union, Sergey Korotkov, Russian Aircraft Corporation-MiG’s director general told the Moscow-based newspaper Vedomosti.

    “The MiG-31 is in great demand to meet our country’s air defense needs. But it went out of production some time ago, although the functions assigned to the MiG-31 will still be required,” Korotkov said. “We need a new aerial system to solve these problems—which have, in fact, grown—based on new principles and new materials. And we understand what kind of airplane it will be: work is already underway to determine the aircraft’s design.”

    Korotkov didn’t offer any further details about the interceptor, but he made it clear that the Russian aerospace industry believes that manned aircraft will be around for a long time to come. Moreover, a human will be in the loop to control an unmanned aircraft for the foreseeable future, Korotkov said—which is in line with Western thinking.

    “I think manned and unmanned combat aircraft will coexist for a long time. Today, even though the intelligence of combat systems is growing rapidly, they still need a human to make a final decision,” Korotkov said. “For simple tasks, unmanned aircraft will be enough, but for complex ones, a human presence—either onboard a plane or a drone operator—is still needed.”

    Meanwhile, MiG is continuing to develop an unmanned aircraft in conjunction with Russia’s Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute (Abbreviated as TsAGI for Tsentralniy Aerogidrodinamicheskiy Institut)—which is the Soviet/Russian analogue to NASA. “MiG has always dealt with such complexes. We showed a model of the UAV Scat at the MAKS-2007 airshow,” said Korotkov, adding that MiG is working jointly with TsAGI on unmanned strike aircraft.

    The question that Korotkov does not answer is: How does Moscow expect to pay for all of its expensive new development programs given the state of Russia’s economy, which has shrunk by 3.8 percent in 2015 according to the IMF.

    Russian video conferencing held a unique flight experiment

    Long-interceptor MiG 31BM made a nonstop flight from Krasnoyarsk region in Astrakhan region, breaking the more than 5.5 thousand. Km, according to the Defense Ministry.

    "Six supersonic fighter-interceptor MiG-31BM under the flight tactical exercise carried out non-stop flight from the airbase" Kansk "in Krasnoyarsk Territory to the airfield" Ashuluk "in the Astrakhan region", - said the assistant commander of the Central Military District, Colonel Jaroslav Roshupkin.

    The six-hour non-stop flight length of more than 5.5 thousand. Km was held in the airspace of the three federal districts, with two refueling in the air above the Novosibirsk region and Perm region.

    During the main phase of the teachings of the pilots will perform live firing on the high-speed low-flying targets, simulating cruise missiles imaginary enemy, and spent clearing the airspace for long-range aviation aircraft.

    The supersonic fighter-interceptor MiG-31 is designed for a long patrol and anti-high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, strategic bombers and low-flying targets. The upgraded MiG-31BM has a modern management system, target detection range of up to 320 km, the defeat - 280 km. The aircraft is capable of simultaneously striking out six and track up to ten targets. For comparison with the MiG-31, through a new generation avionics and armament the effectiveness MiG-31BM for increased almost three times.

    US Aircraft Intercepted by Russian Supersonic MiG-31 in Far East



    A Russian MiG-31 Foxhound supersonic jet intercepted a US anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare and maritime patrol aircraft in the Russian Far East last week, the Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday, quoting a US Pacific Command (USPACOM) spokesman.

    "On April 21, a U.S. Navy P-8 Maritime Patrol reconnaissance aircraft flying a routine mission in international airspace was intercepted by a MiG-31 Russian jet in the vicinity of the Kamchatka Peninsula," Cmdr. Dave Benham told the Washington Free Beacon.

    Benham reportedly characterized the intercept as "safe and professional," explaining that intercepts between the US and other militaries "occur often."

    "For intercepts that are deemed unprofessional, the U.S. takes appropriate measures through military and diplomatic channels," the commander told the online outlet.

    The incident took place near the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, with another defense official familiar with the event saying the MiG-31 flew within 50 feet of the P-8.

    Really vulnearble this type of maritime patrol aircrafts. Surely it was very easy for the MiG-31.

    not news, but does anyone have any idea why the Mig-31 hasn't been exported? i know there was rumours about Syria getting 6 but as far as i am aware nothing was delivered. Seems that Russia isnt interested in exporting it.

    it is a long range interceptor which was built to take care with US Strategic bombers of Cold War. I dont see it can have any role for other air forces

    It is a very capable but also very specialised aircraft that is also very expensive.

    I would say for countries like Canada, Australia, Iran... with large areas to patrol and relatively small populations could find the Foxbat useful... but obviously politically it is not possible for Canada or Australia and for Iran they have the US equivalent in the F-14 and don't really trust Russia (or the US).

    In the 90's MiG had a proposed export variant, the MiG-31E, which even toured some Western countries with a special livery. The intention was to sell surplus Russian air force aircraft to MiG-25 users especially, but like mentioned the high costs and its specialization made that no one was interested.

    some good points have been made i always thought China and India would have purchased it, it would be ideal for both countries. And Algeria could buy 12 to replace its Mig-25

    what about Algeria will they replace their Mig-25 with Mig-31? or they going to replace them with their Su-30 and Su-35 when they get them(Su-35).

    on another note the Algeria air force i would have thought they would have had their Su-24 fully upgraded, and whats their plans for their Mig-29? replace or upgrade?
