The Ye-150 family was a series of prototype heavy interceptors that the Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau built in the Soviet Union from 1955, as the successor to the I-3, I-7 and I-75 line, to meet an Air Defence Forces need for an aircraft that could be guided automatically to a supersonic target under the Uragan-5 weapons system. The family included the single-engined Ye-150, which first flew on 8 July 1960 and reached Mach 2.65, the cannon-armed Ye-151 that never left the design stage, the cropped-delta Ye-152 whose record flights were registered as the Ye-166, the twin-engined Ye-152A that the West misnamed MiG-23, and the proposed Ye-152P and Ye-152M. Unreliable R-15 engines and the cancellation of Uragan-5 in 1962 ended the line.
