MiG-31 Foxhound

This is only HMH Publications’ second book on a Russian built jet – the first one being the MiG-29 Fulcrum – and what an impressive jet this MiG-31 Foxhound is. It is at the time of writing the fastest interceptor in the world, capable of flying at speeds up to 3,000 km/h at high altitude. Patrolling the huge territory of Russia up to the North Pole, this Russian fighter jet, armed with long range R-33 missiles, guarantees the security of Russian airspace the year round. In this book, HMH Publications offers you for the first time a close-up view of this large and impressive machine, that has been in service for the last four decades.

HMH Publication's book on the MiG-31 is the first to offer you a very close-up of the Russian jet, capable of flying at speeds of 3.000 km/h. Nearly 300 photos show every side of the large interceptor and a lot of action during training and operational missions. For this book, we worked closely with a Navigator/WSO who has been flying missions on the MiG-31 for nearly 20 years. This book shows the differences between the different types, as well as cockpit details!
