Whenever a Russian MiG-31 supersonic interceptor aircraft takes off from a Russian air base near Ukraine, it triggers panic among the Ukrainian military, according to the National Interest. So why is the Kiev regime stricken with dread when these warplanes take to the skies?
At a meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has given instructions to develop a solution to prevent prolonged air-raid warnings due to the take-off of MiG fighter jets from paralysing the country.
An air-raid warning was issued throughout Ukraine due to the take-off of a MiG-31K fighter jet, which can carry Kh-47 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. The air-raid warning lasted about 2 hours and 40 minutes.
During the second take-off of a MiG-31K fighter jet in Russia on 9 August, Russian electronic warfare systems simulated the launch of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.
