MiG-31 jets with Kinzhal missiles go on combat alert in Russia’s westernmost region

Three MiG-31I fighter aircraft carrying Kinzhal hypersonic missiles have redeployed to the Chkalovsk airfield in the Kaliningrad Region in additional strategic deterrence measures, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Thursday.

"Starting form today, August 18, 2022, three MiG-31I aircraft with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles have redeployed to the Chkalovsk airfield in the Kaliningrad Region as part of additional strategic deterrence measures," the ministry said in a statement.

During the flight, the MiG-31I aircraft practiced interoperability with fighter jets of the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Army and the Baltic Fleet’s naval aviation planes, it said.

"MiG-31I aircraft with Kinzhal airborne hypersonic systems will be on round-the-clock combat alert at the Chkalovsk airfield," the Defense Ministry reported.
