The Su-15TM (NATO code name: Flagon-F) Originally designed as an evolutionary development of the SU-9 Su-11 family with a more capable radar and twin engines, the Su-15 grew into a much larger and heavier aircraft. The Su-15TM was developed to superceded initial versions on the production line, with increased combat capability and featuring the Taifoon-M (RP-26) radar, ogival nose cone, and R-60 dogfight missiles. The improved SU-15TM permitted interceptions of targets flying at speeds of over 2500 klmh, and at altitudes over 75, 000 feet. Deliveries of production SU-15TMs to PVO fighter units commenced from 1972. Gradually, togeather with the MIG-25P heavy interceptor, the Su-15 replaced the Su-9, Su-11, Yak-28P and Mig21PFM in the IA-PVO frontline inventory. Su-15s saw service with PVO u

Electronics, engines, and armaments were continually improved so that the Su-15 remained a formidable high-speed interceptor, guarding Soviet airspace during the cold war in the 1970s and 80s. During the course of its frontline career, the Su-15 participated in many sucessful interceptions resulting from border incursions, and occaisionally, used its weapons systems in anger. About 700 su-15s remained in service by the mid-1980s, but these were gradually retired and replaced by the MiG-31 and Su-27 by about 1993. Aircraft model by Brett Hoskins.
