I think we can go from the late 40s to the early 90s. Mainly when the insignia were with the stars and not with the roundels

Even if not yet appreciated !!!!!
The pics of the Bulgarian Mig are thhe one of the airplane that crashed in Italy in the early 60s due to a navigation error, later both the wreckages of the Mig and the pilot were returned on the other side of the iron curtain

good pics brings the memory of the cold war back again but well interesting. any pics of sukhoi su9/11 fishpot series? or the tupelov tu128 fiddler? not seen much of them and only old quality ones at that. i think afm magazine should do an indepth article on them as people do seem to overlook the old soviet interceptors like the su9/11 and fiddler for the more common mig 21/23/29 and flankers. all good airplanes though, big clunky soviet planes, airborne ladas, lol! :)

didnt the mig 19 radar equiped interceptor use aa1 alkali missiles like those on the 9?
Yep.
and is the big missiles under the wing of the 11 the same type missile that the mig 25 foxbat carries? if not it looks similar. these planes are great :)
Nope, the missiles under the Su-11 are K-8s, which are the predecessors of the R-8/R-98 missiles you could find under the Yak-28P and Su-15.
While the Su-9 entered service in large numbers, the Su-11 was a total failure and never saw operational service, even though some 150 were built. The -11 had severe centre of gravity problems thanks to it's big nose. The Su-11 at Monino possibly is the only surviving Fishpot-C, whereas you can still find dumped and/or preserved Su-9s at various places in the fUSSR.

During test flights it was found an incredibly difficult machine to fly, far too hard for inexperienced pilots. The state acceptance trials were simply failed. Unfortunately, thanks to ineffective state planning, the Su-11 had already been ordered into production from GAZ153/Novosibirsk. The aircraft might have been deployed as second-line aircraft with three PVO regiments (Khotilovo, Yefremov and Afrikanda), but only as second-line interceptors (the PVO often had two types of aircraft in one regiment) just because they were there. The Su-11s played second fiddle to the Su-15 in all three regiments. Pun intended of course.

I proudly started the thread about Small Airforces Pictures, now I'd like to start another one on airplanes of the Warsaw Pact from the fifties to the eighties
I hope it gets the same success
Enjoy
