Fiberglass, titanium mesh and a coat of paint, no problem for the team in the hanger.

The plane is kaput
Apparently the accident was at the Soltsy airfield in the Veliky Novgorod Region
It is possible that the first squadron of MiG-31K is based there, although there is no confirmation. Previous news claimed that a MiG.31K squad would be added in Kansk

The heart of the Mig-31, the D-30F6 engine, has been in operation since 1978.
Even more amazing when you think that they designed it back then with a drawing table and arithmetic ruler. No autocad or other fancy programs. Respect for engineers in those days!

Yes that was over 40 years ago 
It is hard to believe that they will be able to flight this MiG 31K.

Looks like pretty normal damage for running off the runway... if you think about when you drive off the road onto rough ground the vertical bumping is excessive and if you bump a plane up and down... of course the nose sticking out the front will break.... like a high speed crash with a motor bike when the.... umm head comes off with the helmet when the bike and the body comes to a rapid stop but the helmet and the head does not...
Good to see no loss of life... more funding for the replacement and another aircraft taken out of stocks and upgraded.
If stocks are getting low perhaps offer to buy some back from Kazakhstan... they will likely appreciate getting Su-30s for them with a few upgrades perhaps?

Fortunately they have lot of MiG-31s in stock and reserve so they will modernized one of then if they cant repair this one...it will be faster and cheaper to take one from stock and modernized him..

We called them a drawing board and a slide rule, still have my small A3 drawing board and slide rule somewhere.

HATO is a military organisation dedicated to attacking Russia... why should Russia show peaceful intentions to the current HATO build up of forces in and around Kiev?

Flight "Dagger": hypersonic missiles replenished long-range aviation
The new regiment of MiG-31K missile carriers began to carry out combat training tasks
The first air regiment equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles was included in the long-range aviation. It was placed at the Savasleyka airfield in the Nizhny Novgorod region, sources in the Ministry of Defense told Izvestia. Until the end of 2022, the regiment is planned to be equipped with additional MiG-31K missile carriers. Experts note that the "Daggers" will be used to defeat the most important, best-protected targets, since the attack with these weapons cannot yet be repelled.

NOTE: according to this article the Aviation regiment of Mig-31K's will be stationed at Savaslevka (formerly the training air center for the Mig-31)

These aircraft carrying Khinzal are called by the Ministry of Defense MiG-31I, although on other occasions they were called MiG-31IK
In this case the two, Nº30 and Nº31, are of type 8, that is to say with the installation to be able to launch anti-satellite missiles
Given the blue color of the tail number, these are for a new squad, and the base from which they have left is in the North although it is not well distinguished, so I would bet that in Olenogorsk another mixed regiment will be formed with a squad of MiG-31I(K) and another of Tu-22M3

What's the reason for the new MiG-31 designations? Is there a difference between MiG-31K and MiG-31I/IK?AMCXXL wrote:
