The Sukhoi Su-11, NATO reporting name Fishpot-C, was a Soviet interceptor used during the Cold War. It was an upgraded version of the Sukhoi Su-9 interceptor and first flew in 1961 as the T-47 prototype. It kept the Su-9 delta wing, swept tailplanes and circular nose intake, but had a longer nose for the more powerful Oryol radar and a Lyulka AL-7F-1 turbojet giving more afterburning thrust. Armament was a pair of R-98 missiles, one radar-guided and one infrared-guided, and it had no cannon. Production of the Su-11-8M ran from 1962 to 1965 with about 108 aircraft delivered, and a two-seat Su-11U trainer was also built. Accidents and development problems delayed squadron service until 1964, the type stayed dependent on ground control, and the last examples left front-line service around 1983.
