What is the name of the missile carried by MiG-31? I thought that MiG-31 is strictly an interceptor.
Here you go @berkut76, from our friend Wiki:
The Kh-47M2 Kinzhal ("Dagger") is a Russian nuclear-capable air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM).It has a claimed range of more than 2,000 km (1,200 mi), Mach 10 speed, and an ability to perform evasive maneuvers at every stage of its flight. It can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads and can be launched from Tu-22M3 bombers or MiG-31K interceptors.
 
That supressor looks very awkward, possibly even distorting on the barrel. Not mention adding all that weight forward. I'd prefer an overbarrel model.
I'd be interested watching some high speed footage of it being fired. That barrel would have some crazy whip/flex especially with the suppressor.
