Historical Information

The Su-11 "Fishpot" aircraft was an improved version of the earlier Su-9, debuting in the early 1960s. Developed by the Soviet Sukhoi design bureau, the Su-11 was created as a response to the Su-9’s limitations in combating high-altitude targets – especially NATO bombers. It was used mainly by the USSR Air Force from 1962, ending its service in the 1980s as it was replaced by newer designs. The aircraft took part in patrol and interception missions within the Soviet Union, though it did not participate in combat operations during armed conflicts. Its period of service covers the Cold War era.
