MiG-31 'Foxhound'
Interceptor in pictures

This section is dedicated to pictures of the MiG-31 'Foxhound' interceptor.  Our pictures are authentic and are a part of the Foundation's collection.  They were taken at some time when the aircraft was in active service.  We will add more photographs as they are acquired, but until then, will do our best with what we have.

          

Two views of the MiG-31

These photos show a pair of Soviet MiG-31 'Foxhounds' from the same squadron.  The aircraft in the top picture (Number 08) can be seen as it climbs and banks away from the camera.  The numerous underwing missiles can also be seen here.

Aircraft number 04 in the picture below is less well armed that the one above.  Still, the aircraft has four air-to-air missiles underneath its fuselage.

Both photographs were taken by the aircraft of the US Navy.  Neither photograph has any information on them telling where or when they were taken.

In this high contrast monochrome photo you can see many details and panel lines of the MiG-31.  The black anti-glare panel and dark colored radome are clearly visible.

The former US Navy photograph gives no indication of where or when it was taken.

The photo gives no indication of when or where it was taken.

 

   

Departing MiG-31

In this picture we can see a MiG-31 as it flies away from the camera.  This picture was taken by the pilots of the US Navy on 22 December 1987.  The picture gives no indication of where it was taken.

 

   

Another view of the MiG-31

This view of the MiG-31 Foxbat helps show many details of the aircraft, most especially external weapons arrangement.  This picture was taken by NATO forces in 1989.  No location was given in the photograph description.
