The Mig-31 'Foxhound' was developed as the replacement of the Mig-25 'Foxbat', the prototype Ye-155MP took the first flight on 16 September 1975. As the heaviest fighter/interceptor in the world, the Mig-31 is much heaver than other similar aircrafts. At the same time, two powerful D-30-F6 engines and a stronger airframe gave it a top speed to Mach 2.8 at high-altitude and Mach 1.23 at low-altitude. The Mig-31B were put out under the threaten of the western countries in the 1980s,they can be regarded as the mixture of the Mig-31BS, which developed from the basic Mig-31 sans suffixe, and the Mig-31DZ, however with a series of new avionics and WCS made it much more efficient than any other version.
