The MiG-31 was a fast, long-range Soviet interceptor aircraft designed to destroy cruise missiles in mid-flight. This bird, which was formed based on the Soviet experiences in the MiG-25 project and by eliminating its weaknesses, is better known by the nickname "Foxbat" or "Foxhound" given to it by NATO.
