MiG-25 was designed as interceptor against Mach-3 bombers, like Valkyrie. It was never meant to be used in dogfight and frame could actually crack in high speed manoeuvres. But such bombers were abandoned so MiG-31 did not need so high top speed.

The Mig-25 was designed after the A-5 Vigilante. What the Soviets thought was a mach 3 nuclear bomber. They wanted one of their own; hence, the Mig-25. The original A-5 had dual rudders. Increase the proportions all around in the typical "bigger is better" Russian doctrine and you basically have the mig. See NA-237 (WS-300A competition).

No, it doesn't. The Kinzhal is not a hypersonic missile, it's merely a normal cruise missile with a slap-dash modification for air-launch and it moves no faster than the missile that it is based on (which is still "hypersonic" like every other, but speed is not what makes a true hypersonic missile special). And by "based on" I mean is literally the exact same missile, entirely, with a different name and an adjustment to be launched from a fighter. Heck, the only country even trying to develop a true hypersonic missile is the US, which has had some notable progress. Every other nation either is creating air-launch cruise missiles and calling them "hypersonic missiles" as a technicality or trying to create their first hypersonic glide-vehicles, which the US has had for many decades.

The US retired it in the 1980s, the British and Germans retired their Tornado interceptor variants for the Eurofighter, China is soon going to retire their J-8s but Russia's keeping that concept with modernizing the MiG 31 and also developing a successor to it, the alleged PAK-DA or the MiG-41.

Any country with an army trying to rationalize its means would have retired this aircraft. Apparently Russia has too much money to spend. China and India refused to buy this aircraft, which was too specialized, preferring the SU 30 with long-range missiles. The only current interest of the MiG 31 is to use a launch base at Kinjal, allowing it to claim to be hypersonic, which it is not really. With its mostly steel structure and its 2 huge afterburners, it is the ideal target for all modern FOX3 missiles.

You only have to read what defence strategists say to recognise that this is becoming a problem for the West, particularly the United States. The MiG-31 is causing all manner of headaches in Ukraine right now because the sheer power of its radar and weaponry _can’t be countered._ It’s known to have scored at least two hard kills against Ukrainian aircraft. Might be as many as 10 but not likely. And this was done from more than 160 kms away. The MiG-31 Zaslon radar has no equivalent in the west. There is no fighter radar with that much power. The R-37 missile has proved extremely effective. Cruising at 70,000 feet at Mach 2.35, it fires an R-37 that travels at Mach 6. The kinematic advantage is obvious. The missile is so fast that by the time it is detected it’s probably too late. Russia has had this capability for decades and everyone laughed.

I don't think Mig-31 can effectively detect and track stealth aircraft, the Zaslon radar have pretty low detection range for its size

Mig-31 is not made for Dogfight!

What are the facts for producing F-16 as every fighter jet produced to reply their Foes in cold war and F-16 is an state of the art fighter jet. What's the reason and facts behind the manufacturing it

The F-16 was developed as a result of the Light Weight Fighter program, meant to counter the trend of larger, heavier, more complex and expensive aircraft.

the mig 41

it's pound-feet, not pounds of force

3:50 F15 zero loses fighting against weak nations. What a surprise
