Combat aviation: the Soviet fighter-interceptor SU-15. Developed in the early 1960s and for a long time formed the backbone of the USSR air defense and took part in many incidents involving the flights of foreign aircrafts over the territory of the USSR. One of the most known precedents involving the Su-15 occurred in 1983, when the Su-15, piloted by Gennady Osipovich, shot down a South Korean passenger Boeing 747.
