I thought MiG-31 only used R-40TD missiles (so, IR-guided) as a backup in case the target can't be locked by radar due to heavy jamming?

I don't remember seeing any reference mentioning R-40RD and I don't really see the point from an operational perspective.

i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

 

DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?).

 

Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!

Really? Even more plausible reason to use them then. Boresight ir effort free.
