I will love to see this video,do you have a Link?.
First,it is Practicly Impossible that F-14 can chase Su-15 at "Supersonic speeds"
Becouse of several factors!
F-14 (Turbofan) engines GE F-110,have a High Bypass Ratio 0.85 (0,9) and pressure ratios are 29.9:1 - 30.4:1,and that mean that their Efficiency at Supersonic speeds and at High Altitudes drastically Decline!
Good for Fuel Efficiency and Subsonic acceleration but..
Older Turbofan engine for F-14A (P&W T-30) are even worse
Engine for Sukhoi Su-15,Tumansky R-13 (Turbojet) Have Low Bypass Ratio 0.46. - 0.437 . (this means that there is less air resistance and friction in the engine core) and Pressure ratios are 9.5:1
That means that Engine Consume decent amount of Fuel,and have a Slower "Subsonic" Acceleration
but when Turbines Spool up,Engine Efficiency at Supersonic Speeds Improve Dramatically.
And Turbojet engine continue to speed up,where the Turbofan engine has already stopped.
@BitnikGr You should have watched this vid more carefully. It has no integrated gun, but it has installed autocannon and gun-pods. More to add first modifications of Phantom II (that it should be compared to) had no guns/cannons at all. Hope now you will like it :)
@EagleOwlHayakawa "It has no integrated gun, but it has installed autocannon..."
What do you mean by that? Gun and autocannon is a synonymous, when speaking about jet fighters' armament. If it hadn't integrated gun, where it had an installed autocannon? :))
Yes, I know that gun-pods became a solution to a wrong taken decision to leave fighters without autocannon.
So, I still prefer fighters with integrated autocannon in them. Gun pods "consume" space which could be used for missiles. :)
Excellent fighter. All 269 passengers and crew members of civilian Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (KAL 007, KE 007) on 1 September 1983 can confirm that. Ups, sorry, they cann't.
It makes me remid the F-105, may be the lines it has... But nice russian beast!
Thanks for share it with us!

Gun - none

I don't like it :)

@BitnikGr
Gun - none,It's Happens :/
Many Aircrafts from 60s suffer from the same engineering misconceptions.
F-4 fantom is best example.
...
Later Soviets developed provision for UPK-23-250 gun pod,for Su-15TM (NATO "Flagon-E")
Generaly Speaking Su-15 is High Speed Interceptor,capable for 2.5 Mach (Clean) and 2.1 Mach Armed.
In Supersonic range of Speeds,even today there is no such plane in western Hemisphere that could Chase Su-15!
In Acceleration Su-15 is only suprassed by Mig-25 and Mig-31

There is Video on here of US F14's getting behind an SU15 and kept it in its sights even with SU15 with afterburners on.

Other factor are already known,Su-15 are faster 2.5 Mach,and F-14 top speed is Mach 2.34!
According to the manufacturer's specifications,Su-15 armed can go up to 2.1 Mach.
F-14 are much slower,only 1.88 Mach.
Thrust to Weight ratio is simmilar, for Su-15 is 0.90,and for F-14 is 0.91.
But Sukhoi Su-15 Thick and very Small wing will produce less induced drag than a wing of F-14 (Despite variable-sweep wing Configuration).
G Limits are Simmilar,for F-14 Max is 6.5G.
for Su-15 is 6G

@ASSSSSSize А ничего что там было очень холодно? В Марах тоже Сушки были, но там другая крайность - слишком тепло.

@ASSSSSSize ничего страшного) одеваешься потеплее и нормально) Так что в Марах труднее было) От жары не спрячешься)
