Personally, I've always liked the Su-15TM, with that green radome

Same here. And with an awe-inspiring initial climb rate of 45,000
fpm, the twin-engined Su-15 definitely had the cajones to back
up its sinister silhouette. It also holds the dubious distinction of
downing a Korean Airlines 747 back in '83.
