Electromagnetic gun on the fighter: in the Russian Federation still fantasizable about the Project Mig-41

Russian designers fantasize about the capabilities of the aircraft, which should act not only in the atmosphere, but also in a low space orbit, and also armed with an electromagnetic pulse (Amy) gun. This is stated in Bulgarian Military. Engineers from the Russian Federation, wrote observers, probably inspired by the well-deserved authority of the MiG-31-the plane at one time was a formidable supersonic interceptor, at least theoretically.

Further improvements in the aircraft led to the emergence of MiG-31M and MiG-31k-the latter became the carrier of the Russian supersonic missile "Dagger". As a result of the modernization, this machine also received a 300 liter fuel tank, an improved Zaklon-M radar radar and the ability to carry six air-air-air missiles. But Mig-31M never reached large-scale production, since the aircraft became a "victim of economic chaos characteristic of the 1990s.

" Meanwhile, information has leaked in Roszm that the air space forces (PCS) of the Russian Federation allegedly preparing to raise a new generation of Mig-41 into the air by 2025. This actually means that the Russians are already on the approach of a prototype, which is probably the last stage of construction. Views with reference to Russian sources say that the main task of developers is to refine the impulse-detonation engine (IDD), which will bring the aircraft.

"Despite progress, we enter the unexplored territory here. The questions about the resources needed to manage the engine wear, given the exceptionally dynamic load that it will withstand," - quoted experts by the Russian Technical Journal "Sphere". It is probably about the P-579-300 engine with a maximum run-up of 12300 kgf from the aircraft scientific and technical complex (AMNTK) "Soyuz".

It should be noted that this power plant was originally intended for supersonic passenger aircraft and already has a developed gas generator, which allows to reach a speed of 4. 3 Mach. Another "innovation" can be the MIM-41 EMI-Hargea as an effective means of deterrent to unmanned aerial vehicles. This development is a serious threat in a situation where UAVs set a tone in the modern war.

In addition, according to Russian propagandists, a multi-purpose rocket launch complex can be installed on the Mig-41 capable of coping with "hypersonic ammunition with several warlords". Despite all the high -profile statements, the main question remains - when the new "can" will be presented for a general review. "If the Mig-41 successfully executes its first flight by 2025, then it is expected to be fully ready for operation by 2030.
