The MiG-31 interceptor fighter cannot be shot down by existing air defense systems (air defense) when flying at a certain altitude. This was stated by military analyst Alexander Artamonov.
Absolutely invulnerable
He noted that the MiG-31 fighter is capable of climbing to an altitude of up to 30 kilometers. His comment came against the backdrop of European accusations against Russia in connection with alleged frequent violations of air borders.
The MiG-31 is capable of operating at an altitude of up to 30 kilometers - outside the range of any modern air defense systems. This is insanely much, no system works at such a height.
MiG-31 armament
