Speak softly, and carry a bigger gun than a 9mm.

MiG-31 still does alright in AEW, ECM, and photo-recon missions, though.
-Or for pissing off a flight to scramble early and GTFO, or to intercept a flight during mid-air refuel.
(Its wide flight vector would [distance it can cover in the time a flight can be sent to intercept] means it can cause ALOT of disruption to airfields simply by existing)
Strap some passive-radar guided ARMs to it, and they perform pretty decent SEAD(L) missions.
Probably going to get my MiG-23 to work closely with the MiG-31 until they can haz upgrade to Sukhoi airframes with companion-cubes mini-fridges.
(tempted to either pair two MiG-23s with teh MiG-31 for Migcap, or just "Borrow" the F-14 for a decent wingman)
Silver is probably taking the F-15A/C... just a guess. Making them the super-fighter of the flight.
