With all the talk of the Flanker series, I feel that the most powerful Russian fighter currently flying always gets overlooked. Personally I’d probably rather fly the Foxhound as I like things to be big and fast, and the Foxhound is definitely both. Plus, I like planes with a two-man crew.
As far as I know the latest variant is the MiG-31B Foxhound-A. Here are some pictures that I hope you guys will enjoy. They are a small tribute to the mighty Foxhound.
