| In 1975, test pilot Alexander Fedotov has flied up for the first time on experimental fighter MiG-31. The plane intended for a destruction of aerial targets at low and high attitudes, in free space and against the earth, round the clock, in any meteoconditions, and at use by the opponent of radio interferences. The plane has appeared capable to destroy any aerodynamic targets from low-dimensional cruise missiles and low-speed helicopters, to high-attitude and high-speed planes On a design the plane is similar on MiG-25 the Design is steady against mechanical overloads and the kinetic heating arising at a friction about air the Case on 50 % is made of the corrosion-proof (alloyed) steel Other details of the case are made of the titan and aluminium. The airplane crew has two persons. The pilot and the navigator-operator. the aircraft is made since 1979. But the world has learnt about it only in 1991. The Soviet union has shown the plane on the Parisian air show. The Interception aircraft has made sensation. Experts have highly appreciated the impellent installation consisting of two engines D30F6 (the Perm motor factory) Radar-tracking installation of a control of operations with the phased antenna lattice having an option of scanning Installation became the second sensation allows to find out any purposes in the top hemisphere and against the earth to accompany 10 is more whole (simultaneously) and to aim rockets at 4 of them. The maximum detection range is about 200 ... |
