The Russian-made MiG-31 fighter jet is able to maintain combat effectiveness despite the potential use of active and passive radar jammers and thermal decoys by adversaries. If four MiG-31 jets are united in a group, they are able to control an area of air space across a total length of 800–900 km. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, it’s epxected that the MiG-31 will remain in service till 2030.
The MiGs Return:
“A match for ‘MOST’ of the F-16 variants” but not a match for Block 50 and above F-16’s. It’s your propaganda I’m just quoting…lol As for the F-35 you need to talk to some F16 and F18 pilots.
MIG 31 is a capable area denial and Hunter platform. An Agressor has to evade upon detection or after attack…which is higher % standoff. … vs US deep penetrator boasting. COPE Indian showed that lesser calibre aircraft could kill F 15C inside the box.
Russia being the home team and defender will have ground launch and Naval Launch to assist……before the agressor…escape the box.
The performance stats for Russian missiles is approx in the arena of public debate. If they perform on par or better than the new Kalibre class missiles… US/Nato and Israhell…..in for rude awakening when facing off against Russia A Team.
Russian air defences are as capable as a T72 in a Tank fight-they are over hyped, slow and defeatable. You are drinking too much “flavor-aid”.
You totally miss the point of WWIII. Neither USA or Russia has the means to defend against the strategic nuclear forces of the other. Russia will not waste time “shooting at ghosts”; they will immediately cut the head off of the snake. America will cease to exist, regardless of what damage Russia sustains.
Ah one who gets it sure is refreshing from all these armchair generals that have read one to many comic books.!!!
What narratives do you listen to? Political generals are useless. How many wars has US won since the WW2? Russia is twice as large as US and can absorb a nuclear strike much better than US.
Ah my friend I think you mis-understood for I was agreeing with his assestment cut off the head and the rest won’t rattle long.@!!!
You’re a bigger idiot that the two prior idiots. Russia has 320 cities of 50,000 the US has 2x that and has almowt 3x the total population and more distribution of essential infrastructure.
By large I meant the land mass, it might help you to study some geography, if east and west coast are attacked, along with some inland targets, US is pretty much done. And God forbid if the survivors do not have their I phones operational, they would be almost useless. The baby boomers, the x and y generations have lived easy lives making them inept in face of some serious adversity. The Russians are hardier and have a much higher pain thresh hold. Yes, the Russians would do better after a nuclear exchange
You’re also an idiot.
You my friend are one of those that if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance than baffle them with bullshit as most trolls do.!!!
The Americans don’t think so, they think that they can arrange for Europe to attack Russia, and the US will make a lot of money arming the Europeans, like it did in WWI and WWII. Just like in the other world wars, the US will only intervene to protect its investment in Europe, and enter at the last minute, and claim victory just like they did in WWI and WWII.
They think that Russia would not dare to strike the USA, their arrogance, overpowers any commonsense they might have once had.
PS Russia does have the means to defend against US nuclear forces. They have spent the last 70 years preparing to defend against a US attack. Their radar can see stealthy aircraft, and their missiles can shoot down American missiles planes and bombs.
Sure, some American nukes would get through, but all Russian nukes would hit the USA.
If you look at how the Russian military is arranged, it’s all defense, fortress Russia. The US doesn’t do defense, all American weapons are offensive in nature. The US doesn’t believe that any nation would dare to attack the USA.
You’re an idiot.
Face reality, if Russian defenses were as bad as you believe, the US would have invaded decades ago. The US never passes up an opportunity to attack and pillage.
You win the title of the “I’m the village idiot”.
Where would the 100 F22 be based? The Russians claim they can see stealth, Americans do not believe it, as far as the drones and ” top secret toys” keep working at it, the Russians are markedly ahead in EW/ECM technology.
S-band under 2mhz can percieve stealth not track it. The smaller the target the easier, ghe larger the target the more difficult. The B2 is still stealth, and now you know thw “why” to the LRSB. The Russians cannot buy computer processors because of sanctions and you are stupid enough to buy ther BS. Lockhead Minion and CHAMP are real doesn’t matter that your head is full of nonsense. And you are still an idiot.
Lockhead is full of BS, look at the idiotic products they are putting out at exhorbitant prices, yes US is behind EW and ECM technology because for the last 3-4decades they have been fighting wars of insurgency where EW and ECM capabilities are not needed. The Russians analyzed the weapon systems US used in these wars and they devised inexpensive countermeasures without having to engage in a costly arms race. Maybe you need to read on the Russian EW capabilities displayed in Ukraine against a myriad of forces that included NATO mercenaries. Also, Russian EW capabilities are prevalent in Syria something US cannot do anything about.
Yes the Russians are more advanced in the EW realm than US, because they started dealing with this technology over 2-3 decades ago, while US chased goat shepherds in Iraq and Afganistan. What Pentagon and Lockheed say, is synonymous to someone whistling while walking through a cemetery at midnight.
As far as the stealth, it is costly, it neediness limits the number of sorties the aircraft can fly, and it carries a laughable payload of ordonance. The stealth has not been practically tested against S400, however, I see F22’s staying away from Russian radar in Syria; actions speak louder than BS, if F22 was so invisible and superior they would overfly Russian positions over Syria.
B1B B 2 & F 22 are high maintenance ….reports of F 22 reduction in stealth for every hour of flying. War is attrition ratios. ..US would be losing just on the maintenance demand vs Russian aircraft. US F 22 or other fighters require tanker to get them near Russia to do the supposed deep strike whatever. Good bet Russia knows that Tanker and AWACS are key to US/Nato air opps So guess who is going to be hunted with creative determination. NATO air bases…fuel and munitions sites will get hammered in first hours of the Conflict. US then has to rely on multiple tanker set ups to continue strikes into Russia. Attrition and loss of stealth for every hour F 22 is forced to go back up = more Attrition. US/Nato would have to achieve paramount tactical success in first days ..or go nuclear…as non nuclear tactical cannot defeat Russia or China for that matter In just days.
Last year’s Kalibre missile launches rocked the military world. Russia surprised. …even money they have missiles as good as Python 5 or US Load out for tasking.
Russia is not going to advertise the extent of its radar tracking Jamming or its C4I. . You find out via incident…such as Donald Duck…err…USS Donald Cook : )
Most Russian aircraft are almost expendable as far as long-term maintenance goes, compared to American and European aircraft. It’s well-known.
You mean they have the F-35 flying, the last I read it was still loaded with a multitude of problems once you get outside of the propaganda flow and I read just the other day that congress is looking at cutting the funding for its better to cut your loss’s rather than dumping more good money after bad.!!!
Your wrong.
Proof if you please.!!!
That’s just silly, the F16 is a museum piece, over 40 years old only single engined, lousy range etc. As for F35’s, well they are faith based, everything is awesome, they just don’t get used, and have no weapons.
The F16 and MIg35 are close enough to where Pilot ability is going to be the determining factor.
I just quoted the video. Ditto
Again, if F16 and 18 are so superior, where are they in Syria?
I just quoted the video.
Last I read about F35 was being used as a target designator for the Aegis system. LOL.
Shitty video. Where’s the MiG-31? Fuck you.
