Russian Kinzhal missiles, with which MiG-31K aircraft will patrol the Black Sea, will be able to change target designation during flight. This was reported by TASS citing a source close to the Russian Aerospace Forces.
“Now the MiG-31K will begin to operate in the Black Sea, and the “Daggers” with which they are armed can be programmed directly on the ship, that is, the programming is retargeted on the ship, not on Earth, in flight conditions,” the message says.
19 October Russian Ministry of Defense reportedIt was stated that British fighters were detected in the Black Sea. It was announced that the British planes did not violate the Russian border, but moved away from the border when the Russian Su-27 military plane approached.
Before that, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Yuri Shvytkin statedThat it was necessary to patrol the airspace over the Black Sea with MiG-31 aircraft with Kinzhal missiles due to provocations by Western countries.
Previously Russian Su-27 forced American UAV is circling over the Black Sea.
