- The Interceptor that Nato still Fears: Mig 31 Foxhound
The MiG-31 was the Soviet Union’s go-to long-range interceptor designed to take out cruise missiles mid-flight. Nicknamed the “Super Foxbat” or the Foxhound in NATO reporting, the MiG-31 improved upon its predecessor by adding unmatched advanced radar and weapon systems enabling it to attack multiple targets at the same time. The MiG-31 also had a strange history with its development leaked to NATO in an unlikely scenario that inspired a book and a movie. Join us as we explore the wild history and insane specs behind the MiG-31.

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).
The mig 25 was shown to be able to withstand 5g+ maneuvers. The thing is, fighter jets are not going to do 9+ G while loaded. That figure I'd obtained while running clean. So, in truth, it could hold its own in a fight.
@@deven6518 If that's the case, why none of US fighters go that fast? What I have seen, none of planes made to go very fast was also good in dogfight. Avro Arrow was abandoned, SR-71 with rockets was never deployed, and MiG-31 have lower maximum speed then MiG-25 and still completely different set of tasks then MiG-29 and Su line.
SR-71
To be fair, high speed is wuite important when you want to tdo a long range missile strike - having V0 of mach 3 is much better than ground start
The Mig 25 was hype, but the Mig 31 was the real deal, Russia's version of the F 14 designed to take out B 52s and B-1Bs much the same way the F 14 was designed to intercept the Tu 22Ms before they could launch their missiles against US carriers. Today, it carries the Kinzhal anti-surface hypersonic missile and AWACS killer missile.
It can even intercept an SR-71 Blackbird
Imagine that
i recommend you to read Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy. it simulates an attack on a Carrier group and F-14 are not gonna dig totally against a 30-40 badgers or backfires. the massive AA defense comes from escorts that have massive radar domes, support from Awacs and missiles like there is no tomorrow. the Carrier will need to launch several outfitted fighters and maybe to late. The Soviets did not ( and Russia either) have a good early warning system against bombers because of the size of the country but the MIG 25 and MIG 31 were imperative for fast interception
@@perfectcell1157 omg it can intercept a plane was made 70 years ago that hasn't flown in 25 years and has no purpose because of satellites and that is most likely already replaced with a different Lockheed stealth plane that can go Mach 5

An old guy who still gives challenge to the young ones. The legacy of a fighter or bomber depends upon the fear that enemy feels when it is in the sky. MIG 31 is one of the most feared air planes in the war games.
Yes, in war games.
In reality, no one fears the Mig 31. It was thought to be a good plane, until the US got the real data on it.
It's just a carrier for Kinzhal missiles, which also don't live up to the hype.

The MiG-31 is no longer an airplane, it is already a spaceship. Space ship. This is reflected in the rank of commander - he is the captain of the ship.
This is a machine of a new class, unique, it has no analogues in the world, either in production models or in prototypes. I haven’t even heard of anyone trying to even think about this topic.
This is already a near space machine.
And yes, it can shoot down satellites in low orbit - this is one of its functions.
And here everyone is talking about maneuverability... Was the Death Star maneuverable?
I love Mig, I enjoy seeing the Tupolev especially when it lands in Cuba and I am senselessly insane when it comes to the Sukhoi

Suhoi are simply superb functional designs! Like swans! Love them!
My favourite jet in the world.
Truly a beautiful wonder.

Ukraine is about dozen of them from Kazakstan, the US buys to give to Ukraine amongst many other soviet jets, somwhere between 70 to 100 jets in total.
@@kroooassant9899 Lol Nonsense. Ukraine is finished.
Mig 31 interceptor from cold War era found new role releasing hypersonic missiles, like kinzhal, from high up.
"You see, we will intercept you before you take off"
Mig-31K
The Khinzal missile has been owned by the Patriot system in Ukraine.
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.
@@midgetydeath haha keep lying to ur self
Very Good Video Presentation.
Looking forward for the Sukhoi Su-34 and about JAS-39 "Gripen".
Its certainly interesting that Russia is now the only country that's keeping the dedicated interceptor doctrine alive. 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.
The f22 is a interceptor
The Chinese J-20 is an interceptor
With the sheer amount of land area and airspace above it to protect, Russia will always need those ultra fast interceptors.
@@dannywaller7679no it isnt. Its a air defence fighter.
The US retired it because missiles were designed to fill the role. They could be thought of as "kamikaze interceptors". And because the fighters the US and every other western nation have are still capable of fulfilling the interceptor role anyway, so creating a dedicated one would be pointless.
this channel is great :)
Arguably the most lethal high altitude interceptor/ fighter ever made.
A12.Also, Tomcat ate 31 regularly
@@Audfile The A-12 was never a service interceptor.
I also don’t believe your claim that the F-14 ‘ate 31 regularly’. Their mission profile means they would never have met. You should stop inventing stories.

@@jakobole weather balloons be shaking in their boots 😁
Seriously? Let's just compare radar range and standoff air to air missiles, shall we?
In case you're not aware the Mig has the most powerful radar in any fighter jet (300km plus) and can carry the R37 air to air missile, which is; hypersonic, fire and forget, can acquire the target on it's own and has a range of up to 400km.
Your turn now.
Beast. Powerful interceptor.
One of my fav aircrafts.
MiG 31 ou "Foxhound" - nom de code Otan (Nato) - un puissant intercepteur qui a réussi à faire oublier le MiG 25. Un très bon produit de l'avionneur Mikoyan Gourevitch (MiG). Culmine très vite à 31.000 m d'altitude et atteint presque Mach 3 en vitesse. Belle machine.
You didn't mention about the prime weapon of the foxhound! the r37m hypersonic missile
A Giant missile that at 600kg is 4 times the size of the AMRAAM. Like a lot of Russian things its achieves performance by being large and expensive. The USN AIM-54 Phoenix missile (from the 1970s) had a range of 200km back then and active homing and was also hyper-sonic. It wasn't developed further as the soviet union collapsed and the 'peace dividend' was cashed in.
@@williamzk9083 The Phoenix was great and the R-33 is mostly it's counterpart, but the R-37 is in it's own class. And the AMRAAM is mostly comparable to the R-77!
@@williamzk9083 Since the r-37 is for a different purpose than the amraam (the r-77 is the missile youre looking for) your comparison is really stupid.

At the bare minimum, do some research before you make a video claiming this and that.
I’m pretty sure he meant in a dogfight
@@justinlu6354 dogfights rarely happen. Even in Ukraine, there have only been like 1 or 2. Getting that close is for when you're doing a low level intercept, and that kid of penetration is unlikely. Even stealth aircraft are not going to be penetrating airspace easily....because stealth isn't invisible, soooo
BIG BRAVO FOR YOU TELES..YOU KNOW THE GAME OF TRUTH !! AND THERE IS A LOT MORE "SHOT DOWN US PLANES IN SECRET MISSIONS".. DA DA !! THE AWEKENING WILL BE NOT NICE....
Clint Eastwood’s _Firefox_ is one of my favorite documentaries from the 80s.
Is it made of stainless steel like the Mig-25?
Did not understand the parts in the video showing a Mig-29 climbing and a Flanker performing a Cobra. By the way the name of Foxhound's radar is Zaslon and not Zalson as you pronounce it. 🙏🙏
Hmm, you didn't talk about the R-37 Missile! The 200KM ranged Mach 6+ Active RADAR one...
The R37 was designed to take out AWACS but it is also lethal as a BVR missile out to 400km at around mach 6 from memory.
MiG-31 is capable, but it's the missiles that makes it lethal. However, against 5th gen with low visibility, these planes are getting more and more obsolete.
5th gen “stealth” isn’t all its cracked up to be. Just look at the F-35 the moment it goes super sonic it starts to lose its stealth coating and leaves it visible to radar.
@@hydra8845 you should read less disinformation about the coating, really. Also, 5th gen stealth is still highly effective against high frequency radars, which are used for airborne or missile radars. Furthermore, there is a reason why Europe is buying the F-35 and not the Eurofighter or Grippen as a bridge to 6th gen. Every match up of single air frames against each other is silly, because it ignores the reality that US alone and even more with NATO Russia is outmatched in the air in numbers, capabilities and flight hours. Sure, the Russian Air Force might inflict some damage, but the gap is so big they will lose every time, Lanchester for dummies really.
@@flixri726 doesnt help russia that the f35 is an incredibly cheap package and close to a thousand are in service.

That said, I still love him and all of the old Soviet stories and jokes he tells. If you get a couple shots of vodka in him...WATCH OUT!🙀😹
It must sound fantastic SOO loud,,,,
Excellent...
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.
Mig 31 was never for sale, only mig 25. Second, mig 31 works as mobile radar system 3rd Russia needs this type of aircraft because of it size. Thank you.
@@HeyGoogle-gt8oc
1) It was proposed to Finland 1992, Syria 2007, China 1992 (also with licence) , India, (the Air Force Chief of Staff clearly explains in an interview why the SU 30 is better suited to Indian needs)
2) Maybe an AWACS is more suited ?
3) SU 35 can do the job as well
So as I said before, if Russia managed its army rationally, it would retire this aircraft, like the Americans did with the F14 and the SR71 for example. Given Russia's military budget, it's just a dispersion of means.
only an amateur could make such a conclusion - a recent event with the disappearance of two Russian aircraft from NATO radars (made without a stealth scheme) In Syria, a Russian aircraft made not using stealth technology imperceptibly for a US aircraft (made using stealth technology) went into its tail and the aiming systems took the US aircraft into capture. And how could this happen ? You have only numbers and propaganda in your head , buddy - it 's time to look at the world with your own eyes and think with your own mind , not Wikipedia .
perfect air frame to launch hypersonic missiles.

The two are not directly comparable. One is a no compromise, high altitude, high speed interceptor and the other is a highly compromised semi-stealth multi role fighter. It was no more built with radar signature in mind than was the F-15. Also, stealth has become massively overrated. 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. The MiG-31 would give most western types a run for their money.

This is my favorite Russian Fighter! ⚡
So the MiG-31 combined :
-Speeds of up to Mach 2.83
-PESA radar
-Data link system
-Hypersonic missle R-37
Looks like the MiG-31 was the F-22 of its time.
-The 50 year old 1970s designed F-15 (Mach 2.544) was designed from the outset to handle the MiG 25/MiG 31 or any kind of MiG for the next 50 years. With beautifully integrated Sparrow AIM-7F missiles and now AIM-120 AMRAAM there is no loss in speed when 4 missiles are carried so there would be no difficulty in handling an MiG 31. A lot of Russians things are just 'Big" and achieve performance through size and expense such as the R-37 (4 times the size of an AMRAAM). Either way the F-15 could shoot down the MiG 31.
-The SR-71 could cruise at Mach 3.2 for its entire journey and reach over Mach 3.5 (limited only by ingestion of the nose shock wave to the intakes). The single seat reconnaissance and fighter (YF-12) versions could exceed this due to the shorter nose.
-The Phoenix Missile used on the F-14 Tomcat was hyper-sonic. It could hit targets at 200km in 1970s.
-The US never bothered to develop weapons it could have. The Soviet Union was dead and its wasn't worth it.
-There is a new generation of 4 new US AAM coming.

1st fighter to be capable of effectively tracking and targeting stealth aircraft. Even if achieved accidentally.
Stealth was USSR idea in first place
@@Meteorknite I guess you're referring to Ufimtsev's book?
But that was theory and by the time USA used it, they had already been working on RCS reduction for years.
So, i'm not sure you can say it's anyones specific idea, because even just the more advanced attempts at camouflage IS stealth, and there were a bundle of attempts at "low visibility"/stealth etc during WWI for example.
With very mixed results, the German attempts with "Cellon" material was a complete failure that actually made aircraft MORE visible(by reflecting more sunlight and in more directions), while the British stealthed airship worked, but it was quickly realised that it was completely useless because its intended purpose of nighttime recon, just didn't work at all.
The stealth was good enough that they could fly around unnoticed, but they couldn't actually provide any useful information from it.
@@DIREWOLFx75technically, WW1 era canvas and wooden airplanes would be “stealth” too. Or the the very least LO (low
Observable)
@@Mr.Scootini Definitely not stealth!
The engines alone has so many nooks and crannies open towards all directions that it alone would be like having a radar reflector on the plane.
LO, MAYBE... But having a 1-2 sqm RCS in every direction is still pretty bad when it's so blatant.
If you sealed up the engine in all directions with a thin metal sheet and made sure to make it either as perfectly rounded as possible or give it a mess of angles to minimize radar returns, you might be able to halve the RCS and reach real LO.
Maybe...
I don't think Mig-31 can effectively detect and track stealth aircraft, the Zaslon radar have pretty low detection range for its size

The MiG-31 is so feared that it never makes an appearance in combat because it's too busy hiding in it's own airspace or air field. Kind of like the Su-57. Most NATO pilots who have flown Soviet engineered crap agree that Russian planes are good at one thing: TARGET PRACTICE
Really. I don't recall reading any NATO pilot say that. In fact when evaluating MiGs during HAVE DRILL and HAVE DONUT, stolen/defected Migs proved reliable and formidable aircraft.

Unless you are born in the USA you won't get a job working in US aerospace, possibly in a consulting or contract area doing secondary work on a need to know basis. A friend of mine who immigrated as a child from Ukraine couldn't even get a job. The security risks are too high. So no there isn't an Indian or Chinese behind all of these advances. Chinese working in silicon foundries have often betrayed chip knowledge to China. Given the attitudes we read on Hindustan Times what do you think the chances of betrayal of aerospace secrets are?
@@williamzk9083 don't bluff we know many foreigners migrated to us working in aerospace directly or indirectly
@@williamzk9083 Igor Sikorsky: He was a Russian-American aviation pioneer who designed and developed the first successful helicopter in the United States. He founded the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, which is still a major manufacturer of helicopters today.
Theodore von Kármán: He was a Hungarian-American mathematician, aerospace engineer, and physicist who played a key role in the development of rocket technology. He founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was a co-founder of the Aerojet Engineering Corporation.
Sergei Korolev: He was a Ukrainian-born Soviet rocket engineer who is considered the father of the Soviet space program. Korolev's work was instrumental in the development of the R-7 rocket, which was used to launch the first satellite, Sputnik 1, into space.
Wernher von Braun: He was a German-American aerospace engineer who worked for the United States after World War II. Von Braun was instrumental in the development of the Saturn V rocket, which was used to launch the Apollo spacecraft to the moon.
Mstislav Keldysh: He was a Soviet mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to the fields of aerodynamics and spacecraft design. Keldysh was also a key figure in the Soviet space program and served as the president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences from 1961 until his death in 1978.
@@kamakazmi so like 100 years ago and likely an anti communist. You won’t get security clearance at the highest levels so key contractors (Boeing, Lockmart Northrop Grumman) . No design work on the B21. It’s simply too risky.
The US is a nation of immigrants. What's your point, lightly disguised superiority complex? Most Americans are of German ancestry btw, if you wanna mention the obvious. So much so that German almost became the official language of the US.
