The latest upgrade version of the Foxhound is the Mig-31 BM, the new multi-role version which developed from the Mig-31 B and the Mig-31 BS. The program started from 1997.

The Mig-31 B was put out under the threaten of the western countries in the 1980s, they can be regarded as the mixture of the Mig-31 BS which developed from the basic Mig-31 sans suffix and the Mig-31 DZ. The IFR system testbed, however, a series of new avionics and WCS made it much more efficient than any other version.

The Mig-31 Foxhound was developed as the replacement of the Mig-25 Foxbat, the prototype Ye-155MP took the first flight on 16 September 1975. As the heaviest fighter/interceptor in the world, the Mig-31 is much heaver than other similar aircraft.
