The narrative details the evolution of the Sukhoi Design Bureau after its 1949 closure, focusing on its development of fast interceptors in response to NATO threats. Key aircraft include the Su-9, Su-11, and the more advanced Su-15, which played a significant role in Soviet air defense despite its controversial history involving the downing of South Korean airliners. The book thoroughly covers all known variants and their operational details, complemented by rare and unpublished photographs, providing an in-depth look at this pivotal chapter in aviation history.
