Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "Exceptional Performer…if the Stories Are True – The MiG-31 “Firefox”" video.
There are several stories about what happened with the two MiG-31s. One of them is that there was a hanger fire which destroyed one or both of them. Another is that one of them was destroyed in a mock dogfight when a missile was accidentally deployed through the mind reading device, which is why it was never used again, and the second one is said to have lost control and crashed because it was too close to first one when it exploded. Something not often reported was the death of a Soviet airforce general soon after this event. It has been said that he was in someway involved in the loss of both aircraft. The second one is, of course, at Area 51. Where else would you put it. I say is. There is a rumour that it was actually lost over the North Pole because an alien from Area 51 was bored one day took it for a ride. Apparently it could not read his mind and fired the ejection seat. But that would be silly.

I read about that. Apparently the real Gant looks nothing like Eastwood. The photographs were a ruse to allow the pilot to return to civilian life.

It would make a good movie but it may be too far fetched even for Hollywood.

@JZ's Best Friend Why do you think they had all those nuclear submarines up there. Of course they were 'on an exercise.' And all that thing with the Russians planting there flag at the North Pole. They were also after the Firefox. (I think I'll stop now as even as I'm starting to believe what I've written🤪)

I did come across a reference to the incident where the Firefox accidentally flew low over a Soviet helicopter cruiser bringing down a Kamov Ka-27 which had just taken off. Apparently the helicopter hit the deck of the cruiser where it exploded. The list of casualties was never released but it is though to have included the helicopter crew and several of the sailors who were on deck at the time. This may be the Soviet naval crews you mention.

@johngreen-sk4yk Interesting phraseology. I don't want to worry you but that's the sort of phrasing you get from crazy dictators.

@JZ's Best Friend It's classified.

@mombaassa I have a feeling this is a story put about the US to hide the fact that they have it at Area 52 (Area 51 is in fact a cover story for Area 52.) We all know that the only way that guy you mentioned can get all those deliveries done in one day is by time travel. And what he flies is kept at the secret Area 25 at the North Pole. Am I the only one getting a headache from keeping track of all these secret bases.
