Moscow. 5 May. INTERFAX-AVN - Ten Russian MiG-31 interceptors of long-range interceptors with a dagger "Dagger" are on the test for combat duty, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said.
"In support of the fact that this is not some kind of exotics: today, ten aircraft are on experimental combat duty and are ready for use depending on the situation," he said in an interview with Zvezda.
"This is a modern weapon: a hypersonic missile of increased range, which, in fact, can overcome air defense and missile defense systems." "It is invulnerable and has very serious combat power and potential," Borisov said.
He stated that the MiG-31 is the most suitable for accelerating the missile to the required speeds at the right altitudes.
On March 1, in a message to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned the MiG-31 with the Dagger complex among the new Russian weapons.
Since December 1 of last year, the complex began to carry out pilot-combat duty at the airfields of the Southern Military District.
Glavkom VKS Russia Sergei Surovikin previously said that the aircraft missile system, created on the basis of the modernized MiG-31 aircraft with a high-precision hypersonic aeroballistic missile, will provide strikes against targets for a range of more than 2000 km, without entering the enemy air defense zone.
He stressed that "rocket maneuvering at speeds several times the speed of sound allows it to overcome all existing and developed air defense and anti-missile defense systems".
According to S.Surovikin, a high-speed carrier aircraft will be able to deliver this unique missile to the reset area in a matter of minutes. "A march engine mounted on an aeroballistic missile accelerates the warhead to hypersonic speeds within seconds, and the use of an all-weather homing head in the final section of the hypersonic flight ensures the required accuracy and selectivity of target destruction at any time of the day," the commander-in-chief said.
MiG-31 with Dagger will take part in the air of the Victory Day parade in Moscow for the first time.
