The Su-11 was an upgraded version of the Su-9 “Fishpot” interceptor, Recognizing the Su-9’s fundamental limitations, Sukhoi began work on the Su-11, which first flew in 1961 as the T-47 prototype.
The Su-11 shared the Su-9’s delta wing, swept tailplanes and cigar-shaped fuselage, as well as the circular nose intake, but had a longer nose to accommodate the more powerful ‘Oryol’ radar set. A more powerful Lyulka AL-7F-1 turbojet was installed.
The Su-9’s beam-riding K-5 missiles were replaced by a pair of R-98 (AA-3 ‘Anab’) weapons, usually one R-98MR semi-active radar homing and one R-98MT infrared guided. Like many interceptors of the period, it had no cannon.
