Homeland defences was always taken seriously by the Soviet Union, and several renowned aircraft design bureaux, including the Sukhoi OKB, developed interceptors for the Soviet Air Defence Force (PVO).
Here the reader will find the story of one of the most famous Soviet types of the Cold War era – the Su-15 Flagon interceptor.
The book traces the type’s development history, including the various experimental versions, and the Su-15’s operational history, including the two incidents involving South Korean airliners which earned it notoriety in the West.
As usual, the well-illustrated book includes an overview of the various scale model kits on the subject that have been released to date, as well as a selection of colour schemes and line drawings that will prove a most welcome reference for any modeller setting out to build a variant of this iconic aircraft.
