wonder how good or bad these aircraft would have been in a dogfight with western aircraft at the time…a fiddler could possibly out turn a B-52, with a good pilot mind you.
they were pretty bad
but i am sure a flagon could give a phantom a run for its money or a voodoo.a flagon vs f-106 or a lightning “now that would be interesting”……
Flagon if used with the right tactics relaying on highspeed dashes and missile salvos may take out some fighters but clearly that was not how they were designed also they were mostly under GCI
i
have read somewhere that a yak-28p had a mock dogfight with a [possibly] German phantom over the baltic once.it was unknown if it was agression or just playing around,that would have been nice to see…..
I have heard this too maybe somone could give some details
they didnt put gun pods on the su-15 for nothing i feel..and by the way i wasnt running down the fiddler.i think the job it was designed to do [bomber killer]it would have done very well….
if you use the search option this fighter flagon was discussed before
aphids and gunpods i think were emergency selfdefence solutions in case they encounter enemy fighters
