The CEO of Russia’s Mikoyan aircraft company recently made some wild claims about the MiG-41 — the successor to the MiG-31 — saying it would fly in space, reach speeds of 2,800 mph, carry lasers, and more.
Despite these predictions, the MiG-41, if it’s made, would not be ready for deployment until between 2035 and 2040, which means the MiG-31 will be Russia’s main interceptor well into the 2030s.
And while these predictions are rather fanciful, they’re not impossible, given the MiG-31’s impressive capabilities.
Take a look at what the MiG-31 can do.
