	MILAVIA - Sukhoi Su-15 'Flagon' - Operator List
		The Soviet Air Defence Forces (PVO) were until then the sole operator of the Su-15 and only operated the aircraft from Soviet territory with exception of a small group of Su-15 operated by Soviet crews in Egypt during the 1970s for air defense.
		When the Georgian Air Force was established it took delivery of new Su-25s, produced by Tbilisi Aircraft Works, and thus it seems unlikely any Su-15s were ever operated under the Georgian flag.
		In March 1992 the Ukrainian Air Force was officially established, but the Su-15s continued to serve with the Air Defence.
