Trumpeter 02811 Sukhoi Su-15 TM Flagon-F (1/48) – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 02811 Sukhoi Su-15 TM Flagon-F model in 1/48 scale is an excellent choice for military aviation enthusiasts and collectors of Soviet Cold War-era jet fighters. The Sukhoi Su-15 TM (Flagon-F) was one of the most important and advanced interceptor fighters of the Soviet Union, in service from the late 1960s until the 1990s. This aircraft played a vital role in the air defense system, being used primarily for intercepting aerial targets under tough weather conditions over the vast expanses of the USSR.

Historical Information

The Su-15 TM was among the most widely produced and operated front-line and Soviet Air Defense interceptors. The design was improved compared to earlier Flagon variants – the TM version featured more advanced avionics and an enlarged conical radar, among other upgrades. The most famous episode involving the Su-15 TM was the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, a Boeing 747, in 1983 over Soviet territory, which had a major international impact.
