| P-1, Sukhoi |
Experimental fighter. The P-1 was a tailed two-seat delta. It had oval
jet intakes just ahead of the wing root, with twin shock cones. Armament
was rectractable rocket launchers in the nose, behind the radar. The big
P-1 was underpowered with the single Lyulka AL-7F engine. No production.

Improved development of the Su-2 (BB-1) with more
armour and armament, powered by a 746kW M-88A engine. One built.
Armoured version of the Su-2 / BB-1. Remained experimental.
1500hp M-90 engine. |
| T-1, Sukhoi |
Precursor of the Su-9. |
| T-3, Sukhoi |
This was a development of the T-1, one of the prototypes of the Su-9.
The T-3 had an oval nose intake with a pointed radome above it for the
search radar, and a second spherical radome for the tracking radar inside
the inlet. Wind tunnel tests did not prove the efficiency of this configuration,
and development continued with the PT-7 and PT-8. One built.

| T-4, Sukhoi |
Prototype of the Su-9. |
| T-4, Sukhoi |
High-speed bomber with a striking similarity to the B-70 Valkyrie.
The T-4 was a big four-engine jet with a double-delta wing and canards.
Four engines were fitted under the wing in rectangular housings with sharp
rectangular intakes. It was fitted with a 'droop snoot' that offered good
visibility in the landing configuration, but almost none in the high-speed
configuration. It is believed that the 'aircraft 101' that set a Mach 1.89
record over 2000km closed circuit was a T-4. One built, 1972. Armament: |
| T-5, Sukhoi |
Experimental development of the Su-9. The afterbody
fuselage flared out to contain two Tumansky R-11F engines, making the T-5
look very odd. |
| T-6, Sukhoi |
Experimental attack aircraft. The T-6.1 was very similar to the Su-24
in outline, but had four lift engines for STOL performance, and fixed swept
wings. Later T-6's had swing wings and were closer to the Su-24. |
| T-7, Sukhoi |
Precursor of the Su-9. Nose intake with rotating
upper and lower lips. |
| T-10, Sukhoi |

| T-47, Sukhoi |
Design bureau designation of the Su-11. |
| T-49, Sukhoi |
Experimental development of the Su-9, developed
to accommodate to a larger radar intake. Immediately after the radar radome,
two sharp-edged 'sector intakes were placed. |
| T-58, Sukhoi |
Bureau designation of the Su-25. |
| T-431, Sukhoi |
Record-setting aircraft, probably a version of the Su-9
/ Su-11 series. |
| Su-1, Sukhoi |
Specialized high-altitude interceptor. The Su-1 relied on two turbo
chargers to achieve its desired performance, but these were never reliable,
despite continuous tampering. One built.

| Su-2, Sukhoi |
Light monoplane bomber, a clean low-wing design which looked very promising.
But when war broke out, the Su-2 suffered heavy losses. Replacing the M-88
engine with the more powerful M-82 did not help. Production was halted
in 1942. They were later used as squadron hacks and in other secondary
roles. Over 500 built.

| Su-3, Sukhoi |
The Su-3 was a development of the Su-1. The changes did not include
the replacement of the unreliable turbo chargers, but a new, smaller wing
was fitted. The main faults of the Su-1 were inherited, and only one was
built.

| Su-4, Sukhoi |
This was a Su-2 development, reengined with the 2100hp M-90 engine.
One built. |
| Su-5, Sukhoi |
This mixed-power design was competing with the Mikoyan-Gurevich I-250.
It had a VK-107 reciprocating engine and a VRDK jet booster. Only one was
built. The Su-5 was a small aircraft, but due to the volume of the additional
power unit, the fuselage was very deep.

| Su-7, Sukhoi 'Fitter' / 'Moujik' |
The Su-7 was a big, but simple fighter-bomber. It had a nose intake
for its single jet engine, and swept wings. Weapons load and range were
limited, and the Su-7 wasn't that useful. But on the other hand it had
good performance at low level, was an excellent gunnery platform, and was
extremely robust. Performance was much improved by the Su-17 series with
variable geometry wings.

| Su-8, Sukhoi |
Twin-engine long-range attack aircraft. No production. 1944. |
| Su-9, Sukhoi |
This twin-engine jet fighter was conceptually similar to the German
Me 262. The engines were copies of the Junkers Jumo 004. It was advised
that the Su-9 would enter production, but Stalin rejected it because of
its similarity to the Me 262.

| Su-9, Sukhoi 'Fishpot' |
The Su-9 had the same configuration as the MiG-21, a tailed delta,
but was larger and heavier. It was a specialized all-weather interceptor
for the PVOS, armed with four large AAMs. It was built in large numbers,
probably over 1000.

| Su-10, Sukhoi |
Four-engine jet bomber, powered by 14.7kN TR-1A engines. Completed,
but never flown. |
| Su-11, Sukhoi |
This was a development of the first Su-9. It retained its similarity
to the Me 262, that caused Stalin to reject it. However, the Su-11 was
the first Soviet jet fighter powered by indigenous engines. One built.
Function: fighter
Year: 1947 Crew: 1 Engines: 2 * 1300kg Lyulka TR-1

| Su-11, Sukhoi 'Fishpot' / 'Maiden' |
Development of the (second) Su-9 with a new engine, a new radar and
improved armament. This limited all-weather interceptor was built as an
interim type, pending introduction of the Su-15. |
| Su-12, Sukhoi |
Artillery observation aircraft. The Su-12 was a twin-boom aircraft
with an extensively glazed cockpit. It was too vulnerable in the jet age.
One built.

| Su-13, Sukhoi |
Twin-engine jet aircraft with variable geometry wings. Never flown. |
| Su-15, Sukhoi |
Single-seat all-weather interceptor. The two jet engines were installed
in tandem, behind the deep intake in the nose. The forward engine exhausted
under the fuselage, the aft engine at the extreme tail. The cockpit was
offset to left to make room for the airfeed of the aft engine. The radar
was put on the upper lip of the nose intake. The Su-15 prototype crashed
because of flutter during its first flight. Development was abandoned.

| Su-15, Sukhoi 'Flagon' |
The Flagon combined the tailed delta configuration of the Su-9 with
twin engines, side intakes and large radar nose. It was the first really
capable all-weather interceptor of the PVOS. A later version had a larger
radar and a new wing, with reduced sweep on the outboard section and a
longer span. About 1500 were built. The Su-15 became infamous when one
shot down a Korean Air Lines 747.

| Su-17, Sukhoi 'Fitter' |
The Su-17 was a large step in the development of the Su-7 to a more
useful attack aircraft. The most important change was the introduction
of swivelling outer wing panels, improving take-off and landing performance,
and thus allowing a larger weapons load. The Su-20 and Su-22 were export
versions. Over 3000 were built.

Heavily armoured attack and anti-tank aircraft. The Su-25 is a well-armoured
aircraft, capable of carrying a large load under its shoulder-placed wing.
Compared to its US counterpart, the A-10, it is faster and more agile.
The Su-25 saw combat in Afghanistan, and experience there led to major
improvements. A naval version was built for the large carriers. Late models
have more powerful R-195 engines.

Su-27, Sukhoi 'Flanker'
|
The Su-27 is a big long-range air superiority fighter, comparable to
the U.S. F-15 but superior in many respects. It is a twin-engine aircraft
with a blended wing and fuselage, and twin tail fins. At airshows the Su-27
demonstrated an exceptional controllability at high angles of attack. A
shipboard version of the Su-27, also known as the Su-33, with canards and
folding wings, has been tested on Russia's first big carriers, and there
also is a two-seat attack version, the Su-27IB or Su-34, with side-by-side
seating in a reshaped nose.
