Description
The Su-15 monument in the village of Sokol (but the official name of the village is 14 km of the Kem - Kalevala road), Karelia, is indeed an interesting historical structure associated with the aviation past of this place. The Su-15 is a symbol of the Soviet Air Force era and represents a piece of military aviation history.
After the disbandment of the 265 IAP Air Defense Regiment, based at the airfield in the village of Sokol, the air monument became an important element in preserving historical memory. The Su-15 monument, installed between residential buildings, not only attracts tourists, but also reminds of the importance of aviation activities in this region.
The fact that the plane was recovered and put back on its pedestal after the crash demonstrates concern for the preservation of historical heritage and an interest in preserving it for future generations. The aviation monument and the gazebo on the playground become parts of the cultural heritage of the village, attracting the attention of both local residents and guests.
These monuments recall the times when aviation played a significant role in the defense and development of the country, and provide an opportunity for generations to see and feel a connection to the historical past.
