In the nervous 1950s, the Soviet Union faced the task of defending its borders against intrusions by Western spyplanes and deterring an attack by Western bomber armadas. The mission was to intercept incoming adversaries at long range, which required plenty of engine power, ample fuel and heavy armament. Several Soviet design bureaus took on this priority task. The first heavy interceptor from the Mikoyan stable was the sweptwing I3 of 1956 which, though never flown, was the precursor of the cannonarmed I7U and the missilearmed I75. These were followed by the deltawinged Ye150 series of the late 1950s and early 1960s the singleengined Ye150 and Ye152 and the twinengined Ye152A. Known to the outside world as the Ye166, the huge Ye152M set an impressive speed record of 2,681 km/h on 7th July 1962. These aircraft paved the way for the MiG25 interceptor. Other contenders included the Sukhoi T37, terminated by government order before it had a chance to fly. Even the Tupolev OKB, traditionally specializing in heavy bombers and airliners, developed the twinengined Tu128 the world's largest interceptor which was so huge that it was initially mistaken for a medium bomber.
