Over a decade ago I queried an F-15 pilot as to what fighter most worried him. I figured that would've been an easy and quick answer - the Flanker. I was wrong. That pilot answered "The MIg-31, Foxhound". F-15 pilots respect the Flanker, but we've had Flankers in the Foreign Military Exploitation program for a loooong time, and had the opportunity to mock fight them for years. He was very concerned about the Mig-31's supersonic legs, ability to detect/engage him from great distances and especially engage/dis-engage at will. The F-15EX paired with AIM-260 or possibly even AIM-120D should negate these advantages, but still. Beast of an aircraft...

Also all MERVs are hypersonic, always have been for decades. The kinzhal is fast , not indestructible or invisible , actually it's more visible due to the speed, but gives less time for target lock due to the speed again. Also it's not very manoeuvrable for the same reason unlike stealthier slower missiles. Being pro Russian doesn't make fantasies any more true , same as it doesn't make any less ships sank by a country with no Navy. Fact is, there is a stalemate pretty much in Ukraine, Russia using the usual bigger the fist overwhelm with troops methodology they always use n losing many men, Ukraine using the less men and stealthy method. Russia started the war outside Kiev and ended up pushed to where they now are , Ukraine's making little progress as is same for Russia..

@@juanalejandrosegura5857 I knew someone was going to say that but it was not because of the mig 31 do a little research the SR 71 was being retired anyway it had nothing to do with the mig 31and if you think that is why explain why the mig 31 entered service in 1981 and the SR 71 did not end service until 1990 and by the way you are wrong the SR71 did enter the soviet territory while the MIg 31 was in service The Russians claim to have intercepted it in 1986 so if you want to believe Russian propoganda why did they not shoot it down Ill tell you why because they could not get a lock and catch it. see your problem is you believe what Russia says funny when the rest of the world knows everytime something is said in Russia its pretty much a lie so until you can come up with iinformation that you did not find on google I would stop talking

Any plane in the missile's path can 'catch a missile...' Just sayin'

Couldn't catch an sr71

The big problem with the MiG-31 was that it would go bingo fuel after approximately 8 minutes of afterburner… Complete gas hog…
