Publication Topics

The book focuses on the Mikoyan MiG-31 Foxhound interceptor – one of the fastest combat aircraft in the world, representing the Russian Federation from the Cold War era up to modern times. The MiG-31, introduced into service in 1981, became famous as the successor to the MiG-25, capable of flying at speeds exceeding Mach 2.8 (approximately 3,000 km/h). This aircraft was a key component of the air defense of the USSR and Russian Federation and took part in numerous patrol and operational missions, especially over Siberia and the Far East.
