MiG-41 fly faster than missiles
MiG-41 fly faster than missiles
designed to fly at Mach 4.0 - Mach 4.3
convincing deterrent against any aggression
My comments :
Mach 4 means FOUR times the speed of sound. The speed of sound is 1,235 km/hr. So the MIG41 will fly at about 5000 km/hr. The MIG41 can fly from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore in under FOUR MINUTES (316 km by air). RMAF please take note.
At that speed of Mach 4.0 there are no anti aircraft missiles today that can shoot down the MIG41, except for Russia's own hypersonic S500 missile system.
The Russians keep pushing the envelope in their technological advancement. The Soviet Union broke up 27 years ago, circa 1991. Free market Russia came into being since then, accompanied by some trips and falls of course.
The people are the same. The organisation is different and most importantly they are free to be what they want to be.
Imagine Russia another 27 years down the road.
Or China, or Indonesia, or Philippines and India.
Folks, we are going to be surrounded by some very rich and very powerful neighbours soon. Please wake up.
