A Development of the Su-9 with new engine, radar (designated 'Oriol'='Eagle',
NATO Skip Spin) and armament. Differed by only two underwing pylons, 'blown'
cylindrical nose section, enlarged radar cone and radio-transparent panels of
fuselage sides to accommodate extended radar search angle.
Extensive trials of new T-3 variants, designated PT-7, PT-8 and T-47 resulted
in adoption of new interceptor for production in November 1961. In February
1962 T-3-8 interceptor complex was accepted for service under designation
Su-11-8M (Su-11 aircraft carrying K-8M missiles).
Assembly of series aircraft was carried out at Novosibirsk (Factory 153)
under production designation 'Izdelie 36' (Product 36). First series
aircraft (first batch of 40) rolled out in June 1962 and passed
factory trials in August. But during military acceptance trials
ended by tragedy. On October 31, 1962 test-pilot V.M.Andreev was killed in crash.
PVO leadership (already biased against Su-11) used following investigation
to cut Su-11 construction program in favor of Yak-28P (Product 40), which
was built at same factory as a major product.
As a compromise, limited production was undertaken (using already
pre-assembled airframes), including necessary modifications. In
1963-1964 extensive program of trials was carried out, and in May 1964
first 6 series Su-11 arrived to the service regiment ('polk') PVO,
based near Astrakhan. At the end of the Summer 1964 the regiment
was completely armed with Su-11, starting service trials.
Production of Su-11 was scheduled to be ceased in 1964, but
due to start delays the last aircraft were finished in early 1965.
Total 108 aircraft were built (about 10 times less than Su-9
predecessor. They served in Moscow PVO district: 790th IAP
(at Khotilovo) and 191th IAP (at Efremov). In July
1967 30 Su-11 of 790th IAP performed fly-by at Domodedovo
Airshow, led by IAP commander I.S.Kuzkin.
Su-11 was a transitional aircraft. It's flight performance
suffered compared to earlier T-3, but more advanced radar
and effective K-8M missiles compensated for performance
shortcomings and made it a much more capable interceptor.
Design bureau staff considered Su-11 a failure, and since 1960 new
design (T-49, T-5 and T-58) was initiated with bifurcated air
intake, which eventually lead to the formidable Su-15.
The Su-11 was in service with PVO until late 70's when it was
replaced by MiG-23P, MiG-23ML and MiG-25PD.
The SU-11 is closely comparable to the English Electric
Lightning, lacking the British fighter's combat
performance, but possessing radar guided missiles. It presented a
credible defence against the high flying bomber armed with free-fall weapons, but
became increasingly an anachronism in the age of low level
aircraft armed with stand-off weapons, as it lacks the
range for long range patrols. Its importance, togeather with that of
the SU-9U Trainer declined in the late 70's and early 80's.
