MILTECHNO - Mikoyan (MiG) based in Moscow has been working on the design of a new stealth aircraft since 2013. Some reports say that the PAK DP will be able to reach the blistering speed of Mach 4.
However, US experts at 19FortyFive believe that the description of the MiG-41 that is circulating on the Internet is too good to be true, and also like science fiction: “It seems that it has a wish list of capabilities that are scientific. fiction."
The country has high expectations for the long-awaited missile, which will succeed the Soviet MiG-31 interceptor. According to reports, the soldier is still in his development phase.
For years, Russia has relied on the powerful, long-range MiG-31 Foxhound to protect its airspace. The two-seat aircraft, derived from the MiG-25 Foxbat, can reach speeds of up to Mach 2.83.
The identity of the MiG-41 has not been officially announced. There is an unconfirmed report that the future war machine of space can run at a speed of up to 4,800 km / h. But in 2018, the head of MiG Corporation Ilya Tarasenko said that the speed could be MACH 4-5, or more than 6,000 km / h (3,730 kilometers per hour).
Such a rush can be empty without a real basis. From a simple physical point of view, at this speed, the friction between the air and the fuselage would be enormous. The increased air friction translates directly into high heat, which poses a huge challenge to fighter fuselage materials.
Although the current MiG 31 aircraft have been upgraded with the latest technology, the fact that their production has been completely stopped since 1994 is still a concern for the Russians.
The new MiG-41 is a way to overcome this problem although the MiG-31 may still be operational until the 2030s. According to the Russian Airlines newsletter, Avia. Pro, the sixth generation interceptor could make its first flight as early as 2025. The portal said the first prototype of the new fighter will be completed by 2023, followed by a series of ground tests.
Once the process is completed smoothly, the fighter will take flight within the next two years. Only then will the Russian military be able to start accepting PAK DPs for service, which could be around 2028.
The MiG-41 report was confirmed by a Russian researcher, who said that the country is indeed working on a successor to the Foxhound. "There are discussions and preliminary research on the development of a successor to the MiG-31 - but it is still in its early stages," Russian defense analyst Vasily Kashin said.
Russia is focused on developing its latest fifth-generation stealth fighter, the Sukhoi Su-57 or T-50 air defense system under the PAK-FA fighter jet program. However, the Mig-41 will be taken as above and Su-57 and the next generation of the next generation (Councions)))
