Sukhoi Su-15


1983, KAL 007 airliner

Tupolov Tu-22

Heh, a Libyan Backfire tried to attack a french airfield in Libya in 1986.
First attack put one bomb on the runway, second attack put 2 Crotale SAM
into the Backfire...

You are thinking of the TU-22 BLINDER. The missiles used were French
operated I-HAWKs. A Blinder was also reported shot down by a Chad operated
SA-6 system captured from the Libyans. The Backfire has yet to be exported
(India pending lease).
