2017年4月4日 · Two-seater versions of the MiG-25 can be easily distinguished because the two cockpits are separate units, the front cockpit replacing the radar. MiG-31 on the ground with canopies open (picture source) The wing root of the MiG-31 has a small strake added while the wing of the MiG-25 is a pure trapeze with a straight leading edge.

2023年8月23日 · I haven't been able to find a video looking up the nozzle of a MiG-31 igniting its afterburner in flight; I think that would be a helpful test of my guess. (My bona fides, since there's some speculation in this answer: an aerospace engineering degree and a pilot's license, though I've never worked directly on jets.)

2018年4月22日 · On June 3, 1986 an SR 71 was on a mission over the Barents Sea. Six Mig 31 Foxhounds, vastly superior to the Mig25 Foxbat,performed a coordinated intercept that would have subjected the SR71 to an all-angle AAM attack that even a combination of high-altitude maneuverability and ECM could not have defeated.

2016年10月8日 · The MiG-31 could fly 3000km but only with drop tanks. The SR-71 was designed as a long range reconnaissance aircraft, and had a range of 5400km which enabled it to fly long missions over enemy territory. Another consideration is size. The SR-71 was a larger plane than either the MiG-25 or MiG-31.

2015年6月30日 · Soviet defector and MiG-25 Pilot Viktor Belenko claimed that this was done because it was found to be more soothing and relaxing for the flight crew to operate in a blue-green painted cockpit. This color was very common in both Russian military and civilian aircraft during the Cold War era.

2018年4月30日 · I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the length - the MiG-15 has a much stubbier appearance than the MiG-17, because it was rather shorter (10.10m vs 11.26m) The wings of the MiG-17 are angled at 45°, rather more than the MiG-15 (helpful to identify from above), and the tailplane is has a small amount of extra rake too.

2015年8月28日 · I noticed that some Mig-29 Fighter Jets have a little mirror-like-thing over the cockpit. I can't imagine a possible usage from it (If it's really a mirror). Here's a picture from Wikipedia: As you can see on the following picture, not every Mig-29 has this thing: What is this "Mirror"-like-thing supposed to do? Why can't I find it on every Mig-29?
