Su-9 P.O.Sukhoj 'Fishpot-B'
 |
Su-9 interceptor (prototype designation T-43) had the same configuration as more famous MiG-21, a tailed delta, but was larger and heavier.
It was a specialized all-weather interceptor for the PVO, carrying missile-only armament.
 |
Built in large numbers (about 1000?), in service until 1967 (?).
There is a strange story, revising well-established and recognized version of Pauers U-2 downing in 1960. Of course, in a 'correct' direction: U-2 was shot down not by SAM, but by suicide ram attack of unarmed Su-9. Orwell, where are you?
