What We Know About The Futuristic Russian MIG-41 Fighter Jet
By ALVIN REYES
In 2018, the Russian TASS news agency reported that the Ministry of Defense wanted to develop a "long-range interception aircraft" to replace its aging Mig-31 fighter jets.
While the details on Russia's newest top-secret fighter jet are expectedly scarce, the MiG-41 PAK DP will take its maiden voyage by 2025 and enter service by 2028.
When it does, the MiG-41 will have an array of features, such as the capability of cruising at four times the speed of sound and operating near space.
Furthermore, by all reports, it will be invisible on the radar and could intercept bombers, cruise missiles, and drones with its proprietary weapons and hypersonic projectiles.
While its reported new features are theoretically possible, it remains to be seen if the Russian military machine can actually deliver the next-generation fighter.
