History and Use of the Su-15 Flagon-A

The Su-15, known under the NATO codename "Flagon-A", was a Soviet supersonic interceptor fighter designed by the Sukhoi design bureau. It entered service in 1967, replacing earlier Su-9 and Su-11 models. The aircraft was mainly used by the Soviet Air Force during the Cold War to protect the airspace of the USSR and for defense missions in the far north and Siberia. The most famous incident involving the Su-15 occurred in 1983, when an aircraft of this type shot down the civilian passenger plane Korean Air Lines 007.
