Function: High speed, high altitude, long range interceptor.





Description: Developed as an improved MiG-25 (the original prototype was based on a converted MiG-25MP), the Foxhound was designed to improve the range, low altitude speed, and electronic performance and capabilities of the earlier interceptor. As such, the MiG-31 utilizes larger engines and air intakes, extended exhaust nozzles, a strengthened airframe (to improve low altitude supersonic performance) and a phased array radar capable of tracking ten separate targets out to 75 miles (120 km) and engaging up to four simultaniously. Additionally, the MiG-31 incorperates an additional crewmember who serves as the weapon systems operator.
