MiG-31 FIRE SHOOTING

MiG-31 “Foxhound”

About the plane

The MiG-31 Foxhound is the modernized successor to the MiG-25 Foxbat. Mass production of the MiG-31 took place at the factory in Nizhny-Novgorod (Gorky in former times) where the flights with passengers are taking place, as well.
Superlatives are unavoidable in order to describe the MiG-31 as its specs are impressive to an incredible extent. The MiG-31 reaches speeds of up to 3000 km/h (Mach 2.83), reaches altitudes like no other plane and its purpose isn’t that of an ordinary plane, either: Apart from its primary function as a two-seated long-range fighter, the MiG-31 was designed to intercept low-flying cruise missiles, is able to penetrate enemy interference signals and track down stealth-aircraft due to its powerful radar, can fly up to the edge of space and even shoot down satellites thanks to its tremendous power.
In addition, the MiG-31 is being used as a flying research laboratory. And on top of that, a system for launching satellites based on the MiG-31I is currently under development in cooperation with the European aeronautics consortium EADS (Airbus). Its launch is scheduled for 2008.
The MiG-31 consists of a structure and of that allow it to perform high speed flights even at low altitudes.
Armament of the MiG-31 consists of cannons, short-, mid- and long-range air-to-air-missiles and TV- and laser-guided bombs and anti-radar-rockets.
Currently, Russia employs 212 MiG-31. Furthermore, Kazakhstan owns 32 MiG-31 and negations with numerous other countries are currently under way. China and Russia were in agreement, but Russia withdrew the offer because the MiG-31 contains too many technological improvements which the Russians weren’t willing to export. In 2007, Russian Air Force has finally issued orders for a complete renewal of the MiG-31 fleet: The new MiG-31 has an entirely replaced instrumentation in the cockpit. The new navigation complex has been developed in coordination with that of the MiG-29. Exceptionally noteworthy is the ability to guide missiles to targets that other friendly airplanes are shooting at. In such a case, even though the MiG’s Zaslon-M radar is working as usual, enemies can only track one aircraft whereas the other fighters are enabled to attack their targets radio silence. The range of tracking of the Zaslon-M against fighters is 320 km and during trials, it was possible to successfully demonstrate that the MiG-31 is able to destroy targets at a distance of 280 km.

Flight program of the MiG-31

Missil P-800 Yakhont SSN-X-26


CLIQUE NA IMAGEM PARA AMPLIAR



The P-800 Onix: П-800 Оникс, alternatively termed Yakhont (Яхонт) for export markets; "Oniks" is onyx, and "Yakhont" is ruby or sapphire in English) is a Russian (former Soviet) supersonic anti-ship cruise missile developed by NPO Mashinostroyeniya as a ramjet version of P-80 Zubr. Its GRAU designation is 3M55. Development reportedly started in 1983, and by 2001 allowed the launch of the missile from land, sea, air and submarine. The missile has the NATO reporting codename SS-N-26. It is reportedly a replacement for the P-270 Moskit, but possibly also for the P-700 Granit. The P-800 was reportedly used as the basis for the joint Russian-Indian supersonic missile the PJ-10 BrahMos.


Sergei Prikhodko, senior adviser to the Russia President, has said that Russia intends to deliver P-800 to Syria. However Syria lacks any aircraft that can launch this missile and any ability to track targets over the horizon for it, so will be limited to line of sight attacks from ships and ground platforms. Israel is more concerned that these missiles may be transferred to Hezbollah for a repeat of the INS Hanit incident.
