It's been said at first that progression on the supersonic PAK DP MiG-41 interceptor was making use of the MiG-701 (Izdeliye 7.01) and Mikoyan MiG-31 projects begun in the 1990s.
As of July 2016, no official data was available concerning the aircraft's capabilities. It was speculated that it could enter service by the mid-2020s or 2030s. As an interceptor, its primary mission was rumored to offset future reconnaissance aircraft currently being developed by the United States and China. To achieve high speeds, the aircraft would need to be equipped with ramjet or turboramjet engines.[
The design of the PAK DP was finalized by the end of 2019, at the same time the research work was completed. In 2020, within that research framework, the Russian Ministry of Defense selected the most promising project. Work in this area now continues in R&D and with wind tunnel models. Ilya Tarasenko, the general director of the MiG corporation, as well as the head of the Sukhoi company, said in an interview in July 2020 that the PAK DP will be created on the basis of the MiG-31's design.
According to Izvestia, the PAK DP is envisioned to become an interceptor of hypersonic missiles by carrying a multifunctional long-range interceptor missile system (MPKR DP) that will dispense several sub-missiles in order to increase the chance of intercepting hypersonic weapons.[14] The PAK DP is also intended to carry anti-satellite missiles.
In January 2021, Rostec Corporation, the owner of Mikoyan, announced that the PAK DP had entered the development phase.

Russian aerospace firm Mikoyan’s latest fighter project is known alternately as the PAK DP or the MiG-41. The PAK DP designation is an acronym for Perspektivny aviatsionny kompleks dal’nego perekhvata, which translates to “prospective air complex for long-range interception.” As the name implies, the PAK DP/MiG-41 will be an interceptor aircraft, but also a fighter. The stealthy PAK DP is expected to make its first flight in 2025.
The PAK DP, also known as the MiG-41, is Russia's ambitious project aimed at developing a sixth-generation interceptor aircraft, expected to make its maiden flight in 2025.
Despite the high expectations, there is skepticism about Russia's capability to produce such an advanced fighter, given the challenges they faced with fifth-generation technology.
