The two-seat supersonic MiG-31E fighter is a combat aircraft which has no analogues over the world. It is capable:

– to combat in group air fights at the distances which are inaccessible for any other fighter over the world;

– to realize the network-centric methods of controlling the combat operations in air when engaging within heterogeneous grouping of warfare means;

– to perform the long-range flight with speed of 3000km/h (M=2.83) at high altitudes.

The MiG-31E aircraft is designed for intercepting and destroying high- and low-altitude targets in forward and rear hemispheres in uplook and downlook, VMC and IMC, day and night, in the passive and active jamming environment of the enemy.

The MiG-31E aircraft is the export version of the basic MiG-31 aircraft of the Russian Air Force.

The MiG-31E fighter-interceptor basic version has become the first serially produced fighter over the world which is equipped with airborne phased array radar.

The RP-31E phased array radar has a long detection range and simultaneous tracking of 10 air targets. The airborne radio-electronic equipment and armament allows the MiG-31E aircraft to intercept air targets of any types in the whole range of flight altitudes and speeds capable for aerodynamic vehicles (including cruise missiles flying at low altitude in the relief envelope mode) with possibility of simultaneous attack of four targets with long-range missiles.
