The Sukhoi Su-9 'Fishpot-B' was the Su-7's interceptor counterpart, serving 
exclusively with the Soviet IA-PVO (air defence force). The tailed delta 
Su-9 was generally similar in configuration to the MiG-21, though larger 
and heavier. 

This aircraft was never exported outside the Soviet Union, and saw 
active duty for only a comparitively brief period before other aircraft developments 
moved the Su-9 into second line service. 

The Su-11 all-weather interceptor was a refinement of the Su-9 with a new 
engine, new radar and improved armament. The Sukhoi FISHPOT was withdrawn 
from Soviet service around 1980.

The Su-9 prototype was the T-3 experimental aircraft that had its maiden 
flight on May 26, 1956. About 1,000 Su-9s and a number of training two-seaters 
were produced until 1962. The Su-9 was added into the Soviet Air Defence Service 
inventory in October 1960 and remained in service until the end of 1970s. About 
30 air regiments were armed with Su-9, including 3 regiments in the Moscow Air 
Defence Region. 

The Su-9 took part in interceptions of ultra high flying USAF U-2 reconnaissance 
aircraft in the early 60's.
