This was a watchable film as I recall. Henry Silva actually played the good guy for a change.  I'm guessing the Foxhound is the new and improved Foxbat, with 20% less cholesterol or something. |

Yup. MiG-31 Foxhound isn't as fast, but is a more advanced, and capable interceptor.
Foxbat was just really fast, and could go really high - not much else. Not a plane to underestimate, but not quite the fearsome wonder weapon the West thought it would be. It's an unusual plane though, one of the few made mostly of steel.
