its a periscope so the back-seater can see forward, like so:

[Laurius]

Cp : Thank you for your clarification.

But I still have questions.

Does this means that the backsitter personnal is also able to take control on the plane ?

Mainly, in take off and landing phases ? Which would mean that they would be more than WSO ?

Thanks !!

[Sashmeister]

Two seaters mig 21, 23, 29, 31 etc. are for training.

The rear cockpit in the mig 31 has a rudimentary extendable stick and a throttle, so yes the WSO can fly the plane. Not sure how much they actually do though, or if its just for emergencies. Cant imagine that there is much visibility out the rear cockpit on the mig 31, even with the periscope.

Aren't all Mig-31s dual seaters?

[Sashmeister]

Oh sry, I confused it with mig 25

31's that are single seat don't actually exist, there all 2 seat....

MIG-29UB

 

and other ones with the UB letters after the number. if my memory serves me correctly.
