AT 1961 g. in OKB PO. Dry designing interceptor T-58 was initiated. For the base prototype T-49 was considered (with side air intakes, that allows you to put in the bow of a more powerful radar). According to the instructions of NS. Khrushchev to reduce costs prohibits the development of new types of aircraft, permitted only modernization of existing. Airplane T-58 was seen as the modernization of the complex based on the interception of the Su-11.

By the middle 1961 g. in the bureau completed detailed engineering and manufacturing began flying prototype machine. It was one engine AL-7F-2, and the wing, chassis and feathering were almost completely taken with T-3. The military is increasingly insisted on Double Motor Layout Options. The new project of T-58D prepared in the second half 1961 g. and we started to manufacture prototypes using the reserve on the T-58. It provides for the complete reworking of the middle and rear parts of the fuselage under the two motors. The composition of the equipment compared to the Su-11 was almost unchanged. The task for the modified interceptor T-3-8M OKB was granted in February 1962 g.
On the first flying prototype aircraft T58D-1 radar station was not. In April 1962 g. the aircraft was moved to the airfield LII, and 30 May chief pilot EDO B.C. Ilyushin performed its first flight. Until the end of the year it carried out the factory test phase, which resulted in the design documentation to make quick changes. So, in particular, to increase the directional stability increased fin area. Drogue parachute was transferred to the base of the keel, Replace the wheel chassis. All these changes are implemented in the second prototype of the T-58D-2.
At the end of July 1963 g. Su-15 is officially presented on state tests, and in October joined by a third T-58D-3. Planes ferried to the airfield GNIKI Air Force in Vladimirovka, where they performed the test program with missile launches on the real goals. The first prototype of the T-58D-1 after completions also participated in state testing. It tested a new nose cone (more acute) and worked out the optimal shape of the tail coca. State tests of the Su-15, Unlike the Su-9 and Su-11, It was extremely successful, practically without any complications, and claims from the customer.
In June 1964 g. state tests completed. During the tests was carried out 45 missile launches, Kills 9 real targets. The main claim to the military aircraft was relatively short range. To increase the supply of fuel after consultation with the TsAGI fuselage straightened at the perimeter air inlets. The aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft remained virtually unchanged.
All were released 1300 interceptors Su-15 of various modifications, forming the basis of the country's air defense forces. The fate of the Su-15TM and Su-15UM developed sad, quite a number of these aircraft, not even developed until the end of their service life, subject to reduction under the agreement on the SALT-2 1990 g. The Su-15 is known, that he participated in the suppression of violations of Russian air borders. 20 Martha 1978 g. near Mr.. Kem was shot down a South Korean airliner "Boeing-707", which made an emergency landing on the ice of a frozen lake. 1 September 1983 g. was shot down a South Korean airliner "Boeing-747", all the passengers were killed.
