Supplies of Russia's MiG-41 interceptor aircraft, known earlier as the PAK DP, will begin in the mid-2020s, — According him, MiG-41 will be an "absolutely new jet," not a modernized version of MiG-31 it would replace.
"I think that its deliveries will begin in the mid-2020s,"
俄羅斯軍方透露空軍已成功研發MIG-41.並且在北極附近空軍基地秘密試飛成功 希望於2020年中期開始生產.?這樣一來俄羅斯第5代-6代戰鬥機系列相繼曝光,只等待量產後服役,.由於蘇聯解體後,俄羅斯軍費預算,不再像昔時的充裕,俄羅斯軍方必須在有限的資源下,生產製造新的軍事武器,以供軍隊使用,以目前的世界空軍實力而言,俄羅斯已落後成為第3名,因此加速生產第5代-6代的戰鬥機以備不時之需.北約組織NATO軍事觀察家認為俄羅斯要在2020年生產MIG-41.並且在2025年成軍服役存在相當的難題只是當今北約組織國的空軍尚未有第5代戰後服役,英國等待的F-35,最快野要2020年成軍服役,且數量僅有1大隊,很難應付突發的戰爭需要? 其他諸如德國,意大利,法國,西班牙,芬蘭等國家雖然向美國採購F-35,也要耐心等待到2025年時期左右才能交機,平衡對抗俄羅斯空軍,因此俄羅斯當局為什麼要加速生產MIG-41,T-50等第5代戰鬥機服役,以便取得空中作戰的優勢壓制NATO.
MiG-41 – what will it be about?
So now to the point of this article, the MiG-41. There is not very much known because it is, just like all top modern military projects, very secret. But we do know that there is a program going on as the deputy Alexander Tarnaev at the Russian State Duma Defense Committee said this during an interview at the Cultural Center of the Russian Armed Forces: “The corresponding decision was taken by the Chief of the General Staff; he has already signed the document to carry out research work on the MiG-41 project”. We also know that the new MiG will be based off of the Foxhound as Tarnaev also said this about the project: “Will embody all the advantages of the MiG-31 fighter-interceptor jet”. To do this they will need testing platforms, which might be why hundreds of MiG-31s will be overhauled and put into service with the Russian Air Force.
What we will see when the MiG-41 will be introduced is still unknown as the project is rather new and not very much has been leaked. However when looking at how the MiG-31 developed from the Foxbat and thinking about the MiG-41’s mach 4.0 (even 4.3) capability we can say that it will probably be a heavily armed interceptor with high service ceiling and – obviously – a very high speed.
The Mikoyan MiG-41 is an interceptor aircraft reported to be in development for the Russian Air Force by Mikoyan intended as a replacement for the aging MiG-31.[
According to the Russian defense analyst Vasily Kashin, the MiG-41 would be considered as a 5++ or 6th Gen project. [
MIG-31.
俄羅斯正在米格31截擊機的基礎上研製研製深度改進版的米格41戰機，因為米格31戰機的飛行速度接近3馬赫，有資料顯示，米格41的最大飛行速度將達到4.3馬赫，當前，俄羅斯參謀長已經簽署了關於研製米格41戰機的相關命令。蘇聯剛解體時，米高揚設計局就曾提出過米格41戰機的研製計劃，限制於俄羅斯當時的經濟情況，除了蘇霍伊設計局研製的T50戰機之外，俄羅斯沒有更多資金開展其他戰機的研製，也正因此，米格41一直處於擱置狀態，不過米高揚設計局從來沒有放棄過米格41的內部發展，
通過相關信息可以知道，米格41戰機的草圖已經完成設計。米格41最大的特點就是具備超快的飛行速度，該機最大時速超過4.3馬赫，米格41將會是當今世界最先進的作戰飛機，除了可以攔截各種有人作戰飛機外，該機還具備攔截超音速無人機的能力，從這個意義上來講，性能操超越中國的殲20戰機。為了繼續強化俄羅斯空軍的整體作戰能力，在沒有五代機服役的情況下，俄羅斯正在尋求一種非對稱作戰方式，以便可以尋找其他途徑，支撐起俄羅斯對抗美歐等先進戰機的作戰武器，因此，俄羅斯選擇將米格41戰機計劃繼續發展，該機飛行速度超過4馬赫，是當今世界飛行速度最快的戰鬥機行，因此可以具備比飛彈更快的飛行速度，具備作戰的突然性，這是俄羅斯為何要研製米格41的重要原因。
MiG-41 Гаруда (Garuda)/Falken
Not much is known about this fighter, the first sighting of the MiG-XX was dated back in mid-2045 but the JAF councils denied such aircraft could exist because of it's unusual design in that time and the low quality photos of it. Later in 24th of February 2057; a second MiG-XX was spotted on northern U.S.E.A., the Ajagaran responded by sending two F-15SE Silent Eagles to intercept it but one of them never returned. The lone surviving pilot said that they were shot down after some mysterious attack crippled their planes.
The third MiG-XX was encountered on the Atlantic in 2060 where it attacked a group of transport flights, although the JAF lost 5 C-17s and 2 F-35 but the remaining fighters managed to ward off the MiG-XX. Since then, the JAF council finally acknowledged the fighter's existence and dubbed the fighter "The Union's Phantom", it also been given the codename "Falken" in respect to it's power.
Recently, the jet's name and designation was confirmed to be MiG-41 Гаруда (Garuda) after the JAF forces raided a destroyed Drakonian military base on Pozhar island.
