The SU-15 Flagon Was The Psycho Killer Of The Cold War
Not A Pound For Air To Ground

As a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Poor eyesight, risible spatial awareness and an inability to understand even basic instructions knocked that idea on the head. But even as my career went down a different path, I retained an analyst's interest in aviation. In particular I like to try and understand the military-industrial systems in which aircraft were developed and the doctrines and concepts that governed their employment. This channel is a way of getting ideas and research from my head into some kind of organised form. I really hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoy making them. But please remember that this is my passion and my hobby. I am not a professional documentary maker and I am at best an amateur historian. Please forgive the inevitable mistakes!
Video Description
Despite its slightly frumpy looks, the SU-15 Flagon was an instrument of Soviet terror throughout the second half of the Cold War. A destroyer of airliners and other defenceless aircraft par excellence, this is the story of the fascinating Flagon.
