caudleryan Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I found this article and thought it was quite interesting. What if the Mig-31 Firefox was real? What would the performance characteristics be like? What type of engines used? I thought it might be worth a read. https://theaviationist.com/2017/12/01/the-story-of-the-mig-31-firefox-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-most-awesome-fictional-advanced-high-speed-interceptor-ever/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter1075 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) I'm pretty sure the Lockheed F-37 Chrome could take it. That said, I'm sure it's a step up from the Su-42 Internet Explorer. Edited July 13, 2019 by Specter1075 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Mig-31 Firefox was a result of USSR's most successful espionage program to date, it was based on two supersonic stealth designs generated by the USA Big Safari project, Mosaic and Mozilla. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Man, but that movie could have been so much more! What was it, the pacing, the editing, something just made for a slow, tough-for-the-average-viewer-to-follow flick, until the beast was finally seen in the hangar....
