The Mikoyan MiG-31 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-31; NATO intelligence name: Foxhound) is a supersonic fighter aircraft developed for the Soviet Air Force by the Mikoyan Design Bureau as a replacement for the earlier MiG-25 "Foxbat"; The MiG-31 is based on and shares design elements with the MiG-25.
As of 2021, the MiG-31 is one of the fastest known operational combat aircraft in the world, with a top speed of around 3,000 kilometers per hour (1,900 mph). After the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, it continues to be operated by the Russian Air and Space Forces. The second operator, the Kazakh Air Defense Forces, retired the type in 2023. The Russian Ministry of Defense expects the MiG-31 to remain in service until at least 2030; which was confirmed in 2020 when the lifespan of existing airframes was announced to be extended from 2,500 to 3,500 hours.
