MiG 31s are currently deployed in the Far East, posing a great threat to Alaska.
On December 4, according to a report on the World Wide Web, Russia has recently decided to adjust the deployment of its air force and deploy a large number of MiG 31 heavy interceptors in Chukotka, Magadan. Anadyr base, the capital of the autonomous region. It is said that the main reason for the deployment of the MiG-31 at this base is that, on the one hand, it is considered that the MiG-31 can be equipped with a large number of long-range air-to-air missiles, and has the combat capability against stealth fighters, which can quickly deal with incoming strategic bombers and stealth fighters. Even the ability of cruise missiles has extremely strong anti-invasion combat performance. At the same time, the MiG 31 can fly into Alaskan airspace from the deployment location in just 20 minutes because of its maximum flight speed of Mach 2.83. This has aroused a response from the United States.
The MiG 31 is equipped with dagger hypersonic missiles, which may become another major threat to the United States.
This old fighter from the 1980s makes the United States feel terrified, not only because of its fast flight speed and extremely high speed. Entering the US airspace for a short time makes it difficult for the US Air Force to respond. More importantly, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the MiG 31 can now be equipped with hypersonic weapons for duty flight, which makes the threat of the MiG 31, which can already be able to achieve rapid strikes, once again be qualitative. The promotion. As one of the current three hypersonic weapons of Russia's zircon, dagger, and Pioneer, the dagger has a maximum speed of Mach 10, and even has a range of thousands of kilometers in the test fired by the MiG 31 in early 2019. This strategic deployment of
is likely to be the result of the upgrade of the US-Russia strategic deployment competition that began in previous years.
, and the deployment to Alaska this time is also considered part of the adjustment of the Russian strategic center. As we all know, the United States and Russia conducted "reciprocity exchanges" on armament deployment time after time last year. On the one hand, the United States has continuously deployed F35 fighters in Europe and conducted provocative flights in Russian airspace, which has troubled Russia. The sea is also constantly testing, and even dispatched Seawolf nuclear submarines into the Arctic Ocean, and B52 bombers also fly with bombs from time to time. However, Russia is naturally still in color. On the one hand, the Akula nuclear submarine "visited Alaska"; on the other hand, Figure 142 has also continued to patrol the southeastern part of Russia to deter the United States.
Now that the MiG 31 has both offensive and defensive capabilities, it is indeed a thorny issue.
's current combat force deployment has surprised the United States: Although the MiG 31 is in the field of conventional air combat, it may be difficult to even deploy the same air superior fighters as the United States Fighting with algebraic crushing fighters such as the F22 in Alaska, but after it was equipped with hypersonic weapons such as daggers, the threat nature of the MiG 31 was directly changed fundamentally. On the one hand, they can act as a shield in the Far East to protect naval bases in the Far East from high-altitude targets such as missiles and bombers. At the same time, they are also the sword of the Far East. They can launch off-zone strikes against Alaska in a way that the United States cannot yet intercept.
Russia seems to realize that unless it takes the initiative to poke its pain points, it is meaningless.
can be said that after many fights with the United States, Russia has recognized that the mutual deterrence of equal power cannot be effective, but will allow the United States to continue to pass. Together, its allies put pressure on Russia to disperse Russia’s defense forces and increase the burden of Russian defense. Rather than being passively controlled by others, it is better to take the initiative. This deployment has greatly strengthened Russia's combat capabilities in the Far East, and even threatened the United States, but the US military has no way of doing this.
Whether the future deployment competition between the United States and Russia will have other impacts on the international situation remains to be seen. It remains to be seen what measures the US military will take to deal with Russia’s special targets in the future, but it can be seen that the United States and Russia will be in the future. The "arms race" drama will continue to be staged. In the past two years, the US military has shifted its deployment focus from the Middle East to Europe. It can also be seen that the US's future strategic focus is to respond to threats from Russia. It remains to be seen how the confrontation between the United States and Russia will affect the international situation.
