Russia's Cold War MiG-31 Super Interceptor Is Getting Upgrades To Serve Through The 2030s
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* The MiG-31 is the standard long-range interceptor of the Russian Air Force. *Key point:* While the Su-57 is fast, it does represent a step backward in speed compared to the MiG-31.
