Historical Overview of the MiG-31B/BM

The MiG-31B and MiG-31BM are modern, heavy, long-range interceptor fighters designed in the USSR and later operated mainly by the Russian Federation. These aircraft were stationed in bases such as those in Siberia and the Far East, serving as key elements of the air defense system during the Cold War and contemporary times. They are equipped with advanced radar systems and the capability to engage aerial targets at very long distances – examples of their use include patrol operations over the Arctic and ongoing support of Russian airspace to this day.
