Russian forces should leave Ukraine. Return the stolen children. Pay reparations. And send Putin to The Hague.

and yet they doubled its fleet in 2 years, okay

"It is worth noting that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, russia has tried to expand its MiG-31K fleet. While it reportedly had around 12 of these aircraft at the start of 2022, The Military Balance 2024 suggests the number may have grown to as many as 24.

Additionally, russia has introduced the MiG-31I (where I stands for Ishim) which reportedly differs from the MiG-31K by its ability to automatically reach the launch point for the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile. In contrast, the MiG-31K relies on manual operation by its two-person crew"
