Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 & MiG-31 Foxbat / Foxhound - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

The MiG-31BM’s in russian service can not do any air to ground, the ones that can were prototypes

XD but this is/was the MiG-31BM’s whole thing since its debut. It can do it, but just because it hasn’t been seen doing it doesn’t mean that it can’t

Not at all, you’re thinking of the “Korzhooyev style” MiG-31BM (izd.01BM), the MiG-31BM’s in service in the VKS are the “Nitkitin style” ones (izd.01BM Type28/58/78)

"Korzhooyev style"


aint this its supposed loadout

That is the loadout of the “Korzhooyev style” prototypes, not the loadout of the ones in service in the VKS, the ones in the VKS do not have any air to ground capabilities except the MiG-31K which is a dedicated platform to the 9S-7760 (Kh-47M2/Khinzal if you wish)

indeed
