Fighter jet with speed to move elsewhere (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

migrate

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

'move elsewhere' is the definition.
'migrate' can be an answer for 'move' (migrating is a kind of moving). I'm not sure about the 'elsewhere' bit.

'fighter jet with speed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'fighter' could be 'mig' (fighter jet produced by Russian company MiG) and 'mig' is found within the answer.
'speed' could be 'rate' (both can mean pace) and 'rate' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for migrate that I've seen before include "Move to a new area" , "Change habitat (seasonally, perhaps)" , "move base?" , "Ragtime (anag)" , "Move with the seasons" .)
