Description

The Mig-31I is a new variant intended to deliver the Kinzhal aero-ballistic missile as well as to perform as the carrier for an anti-satellite weapon. The airframe was modified by Sokol replacing aging fuselage parts while adding new avionics. The existence of the new super interceptor was revealed in the late November 2021 but the Mig-31I designation was not known yet. The Mig-31I could feature great improvements in terms of speed and flight altitude compared with the Mig-31BM. The new aircraft is said to be threefold more effective than the existing Mig-31. Besides, this move seems to confirm the development of a new and more ambitious hypersonic aircraft under the Mig-50 designation and the cancellation of the Mig-41 supersonic interceptor. The Russian Air Force Mig-31I was deployed for the first time in August 2022 in the Kaliningrad region carrying Kinzhal missiles. The testing of the new aircraft was completed in April 2024.
