Talk:Sukhoi Su-15

[edit] KAL 007 Shootdown was a Mistake
The shootdown of Korean Air Lines Flight 7 over Sakhalin Island was actually a mistake, because the pilot of the Red Air Force Su-15 mis-identified the KAL 747 as a USAF EC-135. This is one of a few cases in which aircraft identified as military airplanes are mis-identifications of commercial airliners or private airplanes.
