US EditionRussia Can't Build MiG-31K, Latest Strike Worsens the Issue
- On the night of June 9, 2025, Ukrainian forces struck Russia's Savasleyka airfield in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, damaging at least two Russian fighter jets.
- This strike followed ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian airbases designed to disrupt the Kremlin's use of MiG-31K jets armed with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles.
- The Savasleyka airfield hosts MiG-31K aircraft capable of launching 500 kg Kinzhal missiles that reach speeds up to Mach 12 and fly 2,000 kilometers with conventional or nuclear warheads.
- Ukrainian officials stated this operation is part of a broader strategy to reduce Russia's air attack capacity, with the General Staff promising continued strikes against targets enabling Russian aggression.
- The reported damage to a MiG-31K could significantly impair Russia's hypersonic strike capability, given that no new MiG-31s have been produced since 1993 and many in storage are non-Kinzhal-capable.
