AMK 1/48 Mikoyan MiG-31B/BS Foxhound

The Mikoyan MIG 31 is a supersonic interceptor aircraft developed for use by the Soviet Air Forces. The aircraft was designed by the mikoyan design bureau as a replacement for the earlier model kit 25. The MIG 31 is based on and shares design elements with the MIG 25. The MIG 31 has the distinction of being one of the fastest combat jets in the world. It continues to be operated by the Russian Air Force and the Kazakhstan Air Force following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union in late 1991. The Russian defence Ministry expects the MIG 31 (10 and 12) to remain in service until at least 2030. The upgraded model kit 31B was designated model kit 31BM and the upgraded model kit 31bs was designated model kit 31BSM. The most visible addition to the BM/BSM variant was the rear view periscope added above the front cockpit canopy. The MIG 31B and # x41 °C 's maximum detection range for air targets was increased in the upgrade to 320 km. It had the ability to automatically track up to ten targets - and the latest units can track up to 24 targets and simultaneously engage up to 6 targets. The on-board Pulse Argon K computer selects four targets of highest priority, which simultaneously are engaged by long range r 33S Air to Air Missiles. Infrared search is interfaced with Radar and is designed for passive search of the airspace, and for the targeting of R 40TD and r 60 TGS missiles.
