Russian plane has the speed to go to another country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

migrate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go to another country' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'russian plane has the speed' is the wordplay.
'russian plane' becomes 'MiG' (MiG is a Russian aircraft manufacturer).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the speed' becomes 'rate' (the speed at which something happens).
'mig'+'rate'='MIGRATE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for migrate that I've seen before include "Move with the seasons" , "Move to a new area" , "Change habitat (seasonally, perhaps)" , "Move from one country to another to settle" , "Ragtime (anag)" .)
