Another Soviet plane, and one that doesn't contain modded engines (so it is slower than my Su-9 build).

Activation groups are:

1 to activate the pylon mounted UPK-23-250 cannons, 2 and 3 to fire R-60 long-ranged missiles.

Props to HellFireKoder for his zoom-camera mod (which literally saved hours of my time)

==History==

(information taken from wikipedia)

The Sukhoi Su-15 was a twin-engined supersonic interceptor developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s 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 was a major part of the Soviet interceptor force until the early 1990s. The aircraft is best known for having been involved in the downing of Korean Air Flight 007.
