Frederic Yves Michel NOEL review about the Sukhoi Su-15 “Flagon”
✈️ Sukhoi Su-15 “Flagon” — Review 🧩 Overview The Sukhoi Su-15, NATO codename “Flagon”, was a Soviet supersonic interceptor built to protect Soviet airspace during the height of the Cold War. It served from 1967 until the early 1990s, and its primary mission was clear: detect, intercept, and destroy high-speed intruders like American bombers or reconnaissance aircraft.
