It is known that the MiG-31M, at the maximum speed, is faster than any similar aircraft in the world, by at least 500 kilometres per hour. In August 1995, the aircraft was shown at the MAKS-95 Air Show in Zhukovsky and caused a sensation. However, the MiG-31M did not go into serial production.
Nevertheless, at the Sokol plant and at aircraft repair plants, the production capacity, staffing and documentation necessary for the resumption of work still exist. Aviation professionals believe all these factors will reduce production costs for the restoration of so promising an aircraft by a third.
