       Yelizovo. March 1. INTERFAX - FAR EAST - Two MiG-31BM supersonic fighter-interceptors, which underwent deep modernization at the Nizhny Novgorod Sokol aircraft building plant, have arrived in Kamchatka, the information support department of the Pacific Fleet reported on Tuesday.

       "Both fighters returned to a separate mixed aviation regiment of troops and forces in the north-east of Russia, from where they had previously departed for modernization to the BM modification," the message says.

       This modernization improves the combat power of fighters several times, which increases the ability to perform assigned tasks, the report says.

       After a long-range flight, the upgraded MiG-31BMs will undergo maintenance and become part of the squadron, where they will be on combat duty for air defense both in Kamchatka and in the Arctic in the regions of the Far North.
