The range of detection of targets with an effective scattering area of 3 square meters is 320 km, automatic escort - 280 km, the range of detection of a fighter with an EPR of one square meter - 240 km. Simultaneously escorted 24 targets, of which - six simultaneously fired missiles, in the previous version - 10 and four respectively.“Targets with an EPR of 0.7 square meters and flight speeds of up to 1,000 m/s, including 227-mm GMLRS projectiles of HIMARS systems, can be detected at a range of 135 km. Integrated air-launched guided missiles are super long-range R-37M with an effective range of up to 230 km to intercept maneuvering targets,” writes Evgeny Damantsev in Russian Arms.The MiG-31 is a two-seat supersonic all-weather long-range fighter-interceptor. The aircraft can be used to intercept and destroy various air targets in any conditions and at any altitude, first of all - bombers and cruise missiles of the enemy. The MiG-31K modification with the hypersonic airborne missile system “Kinzhal” is used in the air defense zone.
