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.
