Here's why Russia's MiG - 31s are now useless against NATO

Serious measures are being taken by NATO members

I am not seeing this stuff in U.S. mainstream news.

The MiG - 31 is considered the Boogeyman on the Russian Air Force

Watch this to understand why having these enter your airspace would be a 5 alarm fire.

Godawful fast interceptor capable of high performance at extreme altitude, with incredible stand off ability due to hypersonic air to air missle armament

Still mad about the "Charlie Kirk Day" bill.

Hey, I didn't vote for it.

I took the post down because some people seemed to get mad at me about it.

Poland closed all rail, road, and pedestrian border crossings with Belarus on September 12, 2025, which has halted a critical rail freight route for goods traveling between China and the European Union. This indefinite closure, which affects an estimated €25 billion in annual trade, was enacted in response to Russian and Belarusian military provocations.
The rail transport is quicker than a sea route to the EU... Time is money. All dictators understand $$$

because directly threatening a low population country like Estonia without an appropriate response from NATO will be what breaks the NATO alliance apart, other member states thinking no one will come to their aid, either.

He's probably right about King Wuss in the White House. I don't see France, Poland or the UK letting this happen quite so easily.

Is an actual simulation of an encounter between a MiG 31 and a NATO strike force under open war conditions.

It is a game simulator, but an extremely realistic one.

with capitals, yellow graphics and arrows to get people to look at them.

See eg "Learn to Make Money with YouTube Faceless Channels" on them:

Why This Faceless YouTube Channel Works
🔥 Clickbait-Style Titles & Thumbnails – They create urgency and curiosity while staying relevant to the content. Examples:
"Even the US Shocked! Turkey Just SHUTS DOWN Russia’s…"
"Sweden Had Enough of China: IT’S OVER!"
🔥 Trending & Controversial Topics – Political and geopolitical content sparks debates, leading to higher engagement and more recommendations from YouTube.
🔥 Long-Form Videos = More Revenue – These videos get higher watch time, meaning more ads per video and a better chance of ranking on YouTube.
🔥 Faceless & Scalable – The content is entirely faceless, using stock footage, AI-generated narration, and scripted storytelling, making it easy to scale and automate.
