Great plane a squadron of that will be sufficient to cover the North-Eastern States wished IAF bought that.


Good article on the Mig-31:

Four Mig-31 are able to cover 800 kilometers frontline. Information exchange process between the planes is constant. All the tasks by the targets locating and group coordination are being automatically solved by the onboard systems. Besides, Mig-31 can coordinate attack of several fighters of other class, with less advanced radars systems.
