MIG-41 – A NEW MACH 4+ FIGHTER

[Myth_buster_1]

Speed is not everything, in fact Speed is not that relevant anymore in aerial Combat as Avionics.

most AAM reach mach 3 - 4 and Mig-41 will be a beast!

It seems that huge air intakes are the key to high speed along with powerful engine. We have seen this in Gripen, Mirage, Mig 27, And new aircraft Mig 41 design. We should make LCA intakes bigger in order to achieve high speed.

Are you out of your mind?

Noob question: How relevant are point interceptors in today's technological scenarios when the enemy comes at you with superior avionics and multi-role aircraft, not to mention their support aircraft as well?

Mig 41s operating at the edge of space

A single engine successor to the mighty MiG25 and Mig-31 interceptors? Ha, fanbois and their 'imaginative art'!!

you didnt know..

Now some fanboy will come and put forward the inevitable question: "Pakistan/India should get few of these"

Then we will have a shit-storm of followup threads on it......... and everyone will forget, no such thing ever existed............

How about Pakistan's SR-72 vs. India's Mig-41s - The Dogfight of FUTURE!! ?

 

[Myth_buster_1]

I don't understand what should be it's role at Mach 4 ...I think Putin plays again !

intercept high altitude bombers and aircraft and possibly cruise missiles.

Are you out of your mind?

LCA has all best technology a plane could have.

It's actually going to be the opposite if at all if you look at it closely....

Mach 4+....

What type of engine it may use..??

Kaveri turbofan

 

[Brahmos_2]

Kaveri turbofan

No! I think they should use cryogenic engine made by SUPARCO

bhai leave us
think about chinese

Intercept high altitude bombers, aircraft and possibly ballistic missiles.
"The MiG-25 lacked technological refinement, but its performance caused much concern in the west. It was designed to function both as a long- range interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft. " See post # 22

Interception of a high altitude again required sealing not speed ...cruise missile .......not that milk run ...lots of factors would need to functions precisely in order to neutralize a cruise missile threat with a jet fighter/interceptor !

The world's fastest ? You mean the SR-71 ? I would like to see your evidences of any SR-71 loss because of Soviet SAMs.

Sorry ...I mean the U-2 fiasco ....I am sure ...Russians SAM can counter many speedy threat...The US did not believe that someday the Soviets would shoot their best tech outta the sky with a missile ...

Spying. No A to A missile will be able to touch it.

How about a SAM ?

 

[nvKyleBrown]

The USSR shot down 1 U-2, with missiles, in 1960, well before the MiG-25 was operational. No aircraft of the time could have done the intercept as the U-2 could operate above 20km. The U-2 that was shot down was reportedly operating at 70,500 ft (21.4km).

Considering that the United States had prepared a cover story in the event of a shoot-down, it seems likely that they DID believe that someone could shoot a U-2 out of the sky.

 

[HariPrasad]

How about a SAM ?

Not even most of the SAM since Speed of most of SAMS is not mach 4.
