Many topics concerning MiG-31 in this board with one-side purpose, most of them are “versus”.
Since Russia is going to restart manufacturing upgraded MiG-31 and claiming designation of MiG-41 being completed, why don’t we pay attention to the tends of MiG-31.
Personally the question remained in other topic is the top speed of MiG-31 with weapon load because I don’t understand Russian in that video.
Furthermore, There is some type of MiG-31 called MiG-31BM, if my memory works right, which carried six R-37 LRAAMs beneath the fuselage in some published photo seems never flew. I wonder any experts here can contribute some photos to prove such MIG-31 being service or are there any old reconstruction of MiG-31 to this model being?
And one more little, is inboard pylon of MiG-31 “wet” or its extra- fuel tank can only be loaded on outboard pylons.
