Mig-31 armed with Kinzhal

Mig-31 interceptor is Russia's mini AWACS when it comes to air warfare and it is the fastest interceptor in its own class of fighter jets. This fighter jet depends on its long range Zaslon-M radars capable of firing long range R-37 and R-77 A2A missiles. It was planned that Russia modernizes 100 of its current fleet of almost 252 fighters to higher standards such Mig-31 BM and BSM and K standards until the late 2020.

This fighter jet is armed with Ballistic missiles too. It can target airbase of enemy from 2000-3000 KM with pinpoint accuracy.

It be really dumb to start a war with NATO.

It be really dumb to start a war with NATO.

NATO started the war in 2014 by arming Ukrainians to slaughter Russians. It is NATO that fired the first shot.

Firing Kinzhal from Mig-31K

It's interesting that these missiles are seemingly so accurate but when it comes to Ukraine their airforce is still flying. Question is why Russia is allowing this. Ukraine also has electricity and infrastructure is still functioning. Remember Iraq

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Fun fact. These MiG-31 are converted into attack jets. They had their air to air capability removed.

I think it may be possible to take off and land fighter jets on regular highways, but it does take extra training to pull this off.

Russians are not as barbaric as Americans. Americans target civilians. Russians do not. Remember how Americans nuked Japanese civilians. Russians never targeted a single civilian. Ever.

Oh please get rid of the pompoms. We know what Russians did in Afghanistan. We know what they did in Eastern Europe. Also what they did to German women at the end of ww2.
War is war and there are evil men everywhere

Because Russian military isn't as strong as is claimed.

When Aramata was shown first time Russians boasted they'll have 2000 T14 tanks in service by 2020... and people even in here accepted that boast as a fact.

How is that project going?

LOL NATO didn't have to do anything when the Ukrainians wanted to get away from Russian influence. I mean you look at how many countries in eastern Europe wanted to join EU or NATO instead of staying within Russia's sphere of influence. As you saw them sending in Russian troops in disguise as Green Men and sending in so called volunteers where their Russian mothers demanded where and when they were killed.

CIA funded Euro Maidan with money and people. CIA's assignment was to start the first forever war in human history to disrupt and weaken Europe.

By making this assertion as likely a 'fake canadian' to make your appointment we are to take away that NATO is to blame. And that CIA is so superior intellectually and operationally that the poor Russians fell into a trap and deserve sympathy because they are in the moral right.

So much for Russia being led by a former KGB man that had no insight into the background and strategy of entering a forever war on the losing side. This from a CIA that has not been able to do much in a 3rd tin pot country like Iran who is Israel's threat number one and their own former President is compromised.

I guess with this sort of excellence foresight and planning attributed to the CIA and NATO, the Russians are completely inferior. Chinese had better watch out as they will also be trapped without any knowing about.

Nothing beats my compassion for the Russians and the Chinese who are pure as the world can be and have always been the innocent victims and by standers in a CIA plot

The purpose of CIA is to disrupt other countries. The weaker the other countries, the better vassals they are.
