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.

looking at these soviet/war pac warplanes i feel that they are all classics in design and looks. even if 40 years old or more, they look right. the soviets may have been mad and paranoid as hell but look at the jet fighters they left us will. they are real aviation icons, period. just cant get enough of them. hope they keep them flying forever:)
