- No Civilian Aircraft were harmed in the editing of this video. I cannot make such claims for the production of this film however.
None of the footage is mine. All sources linked below.
I wanted to go back and have a bit of nostalgia to when I first started editing these videos, so why not try replicating my original style of video. Also, you guys will not believe how hard it is to find color footage of the Su-15 in action, despite it being used all the way up to 1991 (even up to 1996 in some cases). I had to cut the music short because there simply wasn't enough, so I tried to edit it as neatly as possible without sacrificing too much. I hope you all enjoy, we are almost at 4,000 Subscribers, so maybe we can reach that by 2023. As always, thank you all for the continued support, and God Bless!
"It was a good plane and exceptionally reliable. I always said that I loved it like a woman." - Vasily Kuznetsov, Su-15 Pilot.

The Sukhoi Su-15 (NATO reporting name: Flagon) is a twinjet supersonic interceptor aircraft developed by the Soviet Union. It entered service in 1965 and remained one of the front-line designs into the 1990s. The Su-15 was designed to replace the Sukhoi Su-11 and Sukhoi Su-9, which were becoming obsolete as NATO introduced newer and more capable strategic bombers.
The Su-15 formed a significant part of the V-PVO's interceptor force, and was designed to intercept easier targets such as the American B-52 and U-2, and the British V bombers, leaving the more difficult targets such as the XB-70 and B-58 to the faster MiG-25P. The Taifun radar of the Su-15TM was optimised for counter-countermeasure operation, as opposed to range. As an interceptor, the task of the Su-15TM was to fly under autopilot, using GCI commands sent through the datalink. The radar would only be turned on as the interceptor approached the target in order to provide targeting parameters for the radar homing K-8/R-8/R-98 missiles, the high power of the radar allowing it to 'burn through' enemy ECM signals. If all else failed, IR homing versions of the K-8 would provide a last opportunity to shoot down the intruder, along with any gun pods the Su-15 might be carrying.
The Su-15 was optimised for the high-altitude interception role with its fast climb-rate and high speed at high altitude but lacked look-down/shoot-down capability, even with the Su-15TM's more sophisticated Taifun radar. This eventually led to the MiG-23P, which did have look-down/shoot-down capability, becoming the preferred asset of the V-PVO, especially once NATO switched to low-level penetration tactics. Even so, the Su-15 remained an important part of the V-PVO until the fall of the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, it was involved in many cases of civilian aircraft shoot-downs that occurred when they entered Soviet Airspace. A moment to remember the lives lost.

Sv Fvcking trve@@thejohhny2943
Didn't the US shoot down a Iran air passenger plane?
I don't know what it is about the su 15, but it's my favorite jet. I even keep a picture of it above my bed. Very beautiful aircraft, pinnacle of mid century design.
its got gorgeous lines. the double cranked wing, twin engines, big nose and raked tail...
I make a point of reading the comments on non-English videos of Soviet aircraft, because you regularly see former pilots and ground crew reminiscing and chatting with each other while having a relatively low risk of coming across shit takes from modern self-appointed "experts". Every single time I've come across Su-15 guys, they've spoken about it with the utmost respect, awe even. The pilots loved it because it was an honest aircraft to fly but required the pilot's respect, the ground crews loved it because it was absolutely dependable, no matter the conditions.
4:04 through to the end are all filmed at Gudauta/Bombora - the shot of the landing over the beach, with the snow-capped Caucasus peaks in the background is absolutely iconic.
VVScels: "p-please follow our escort out of soviet airspace"
V-PVOChads: "semi-active fired, radar tracking"
Looooolllll
The single most criminally underrated Cold War combat aircraft in video games.
Civilian Airlines' worst nightmare, epic.
Great video, as usual, i loved that song.

Absolute masterpiece video, the song, the shots everything is on point, the song quickly became my favorite and i listen to it on a daily basis thanks to this video. Slavian i will say it you are very very underrated channel and i wish you all the best.
Simply a masterpiece
Hermoso ❤
The virgin F-22: haha baloon go boom!
The gigachad Su-15: haha civilian airliner go boom!
I don't want to look like a Nerd, But the main victims of the Su-15 were American spy balloons
You should try matching the scene intensity with the music intensity. For example at the beginning that u have a chill start with the song I should add chill scenes (planes taxing .etc). Otherwise, you "revive" such cool vibes, great job!

Su-15: 2:21
POV: im bouta clap some civilian cheeks
As someone that knows dog terd anything about planes and aircrafts, this is probably one of the coolest looking jets I've seen yet. Also, what craft is at 2:12? It looks pretty cool
It’s a drone they launch for fighter Jets to shoot down in training

Во. Етож совсем .другое дедо.☺💤✌👍👍👍
Civilian aircraft be malding rn
ah yes the civilian killer
only soviet jet with a 300:1 KDR
На 0:57 в качестве мишени Ил-28?
Great video! I like USSR-VVVS aviation. My favourites aircraft are MiG-15, MiG,29,Yak-23 and IL-28.Hey listen if you have songs like this let me know - the dance-able 80s ussr synth-pop eurodico/italodisco . I'm looking for some for a song like this I've listened to you it in 2019.It was on youtube and it had a slide show with a house/cabin log in the forest on summer! Unfortunately I did not know the name of it nor did I save it in any way. I know for sure it had an Russian/Ukranian title written with kiliyric letter(alphabet) - but I do not know Russian! I've looked through browser history, youtube account and youtubemusic account but nothing! Many thanks!!
Grupe "MIRAS".
Better than Sukhoi 24!
Make a vídeo with f-5 FAB Brazilian Air force pls
Korea airlines hates him, find out why!
Year?? 1980??
MiG 23 + MiG 25 = Su-15
sata andagi
These planes look very similar to the chinese J-8s
Please try something Polish or nato wave!!!
looking forward to it, already have a list ideas planned though
Красној Самаљот 10++++
The fact you're able to shoot down an airliner is impressive, the west was never able to shoot down large planes.
Iran Air Flight 655 (shotdown by Standard SM-2 missiles from USS Vincennes) and Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114 (shot down by Israeli Air Force F-4Es)
Korean nightmare be like
