MiG-41: Russia Wants to Build a Super 6th Generation Fighter Will it happen? 

俄羅斯空軍有意發展MIG-41隱形戰鬥機成為第6代主力戰鬥機?

根據北約軍事情報研判,MIG-41試飛成功後,就被封存於機庫內,再也沒有繼續亮相,以及任何資訊透露,而美國所掌握的情報反應,MIG-31在2030年時期左右服役,至於MIG-41就必須等待2030-2035以後喇,因為俄羅斯財政吃緊,經濟疲軟,沒有足夠的國防經費,給予俄羅斯空軍玩飛機,難怪試飛MIG-41之時,先點燃啟動單座發動機火冒3丈?

The Mikoyan MiG-41 or PAK DP (Russian: ПАК ДП, short for: Перспективный авиационный комплекс дальнего перехвата, translit. Perspektivny aviatsionny kompleks dalnego perekhvata, lit. Prospective air complex for long-range interception is an interceptor aircraft under development by Mikoyan. The aircraft is intended to replace the Mikoyan MiG-31 in the Russian Air Force in mid-2020s.According to the Russian defense analyst Vasily Kashin, the MiG-41 would be considered as a 5++ or 6th generation project.

俄羅斯米高揚軍事飛機設計局設計了許多著名的軍用飛機,這些飛機的速度都十分驚人。當中最著名的兩個是MiG-25和MiG-31已分別超過3.2和2.83馬赫的速度。現在再次超越設計一款超高速攔截機。這個項目可能是MiG-41，速度將超過4.0馬赫。 根據著名的俄羅斯實驗室推測，MiG-41是能夠達到極限4.3馬赫(約5270公里/小時或5270英里/小時)。

而俄羅斯目前的MiG-31將可能服役到2030年左右，所以克里姆林宮最終將不得不提早尋求一個接替者。這個替代者，就是克里姆林宮早已經開始投資進行先期項目預研的MiG-41，可敬的獵狐犬傳人。

Russias New PAK-FA Stealth Fighter Has A Big Problem?

Engine issues have delayed the new jets progress.

New Russian MiG-41 Interceptor Will Be Able to Operate In Space

The research and development of the PAK DP (perspective aviation complex of long-range interceptor) was launched by the MiG Corporation in 2013. PAK DP, dubbed by media with the unofficial designation MiG-41, is expected to replace the aging long-range interceptor MiG-31 and its variants.

To protect its vast airspace, Russia relies on the powerful, long range and speedy Mikoyan MiG-31 Foxhound. But while Moscow continues to upgrade the venerable Mach 2.83-capable interceptor, the jets have not been produced since 1994.

While Russia’s current fleet of MiG-31s will likely be able to serve into the 2030s, the Kremlin will eventually have to develop a replacement

Russias Mach 3 MiG-41: Everything We Know

Deliveries to the Russian Armed Forces are expected to start in the mid-2020s, according to TASS. However, that date is almost certain to shift to the right.

The MiG-41 would be a completely separate development from Russia’s fifth-generation Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA air superiority fighter. The potential new interceptor would be more of a so-called sixth-generation effort similar in concept to the U.S. Air Force’s Penetrating Counter Air or the U.S. Navy’s F/A-XX or Next Generation Air Dominance programs.

“As I understand, the MiG-41 is a kind of a futuristic project which is still on the stage of conceptual design,” Kashin said. “I think that it is something like a 5++ or 6th Gen project. So, we probably should consider it as having the same status as the American, Chinese and European 6th Gen projects—something futuristic, which, at best will be deployed by 2035-40.”
