Military Watch was impressed by the idea of creating a hypersonic strike squadron from MiG-31K.

The publication Military Watch reacted to media reports about the decision to arm a squadron of MiG-31 fighters with hypersonic "Daggers", which is based in the north of the Kola Peninsula near the border with Finland.

As the author notes, the MiG-31 is considered the heaviest interceptor in the world. And its upgraded version of the MiG-31K is even more dangerous.

Each of these fighters is equipped with one hypersonic ballistic missile X-47M2 "Dagger" with a range of 2000 kilometers, a speed of Mach 10 and high maneuverability. It is almost impossible to intercept, and in combination with the long range of the MiG-31 itself, this gives an even greater radius of destruction for ground and surface targets.

The deployment of MiG-31K aircraft together with standard MiG-31 interceptors will ensure a high degree of interaction between units, the newspaper writes. All of Europe will be within range of the aircraft deployed on the Kola Peninsula. And without refueling In the Air. They will also be able to hit targets in the Arctic if necessary, and will deprive NATO ships of the ability to operate in most of the North Atlantic.

even just circling over their air base, they will be able to hit targets in scandinavia and the baltic states, as well as in parts of germany, poland and ukraine.
