Every Soviet Aircraft Used in the Cold War — From Early Jets to High-Speed Interceptors

Описание: After World War II, the Soviet Union rebuilt its air force from near destruction into one of the largest and most complex aviation systems in history. Drawing on captured German jet technology and rapidly expanding indigenous design bureaus, Soviet aircraft development accelerated at an extraordinary pace during the Cold War.

This documentary covers every major Soviet aircraft that defined Cold War aviation, from the earliest transitional jet fighters to supersonic interceptors, strategic bombers, strike aircraft, transports, and attack helicopters. Across four decades, these machines were designed to defend vast airspace, deliver nuclear deterrence, support ground forces, and contest Western air power at every altitude and speed.

From pragmatic early jets like the Yak-15 to iconic fighters such as the MiG-15 and MiG-21, and from massive bombers like the Tu-95 to advanced late-Cold-War platforms like the MiG-29 and Su-27, each aircraft reflects a specific operational need and design philosophy. Together, they illustrate how the Soviet Union built an air force capable of confronting the West across the full spectrum of aerial warfare.
