ABOUT THE YAK-9:

The Yakovlev Yak-9 (Яковлев Як-9) is a single-engine, multipurpose fighter aircraft used by the Soviet Union and its allies during World War II and the early Cold War. It was a development of the robust and successful Yak-7B fighter. It started arriving in Soviet fighter regiments in late 1942 and played a major role in retaking air superiority from the Luftwaffe's Fw 190 and Bf-109G fighters during the grand Battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943.

The Yak-9 was manoeuvrable at high speeds when flying at low and medium altitudes and was also easy to control, qualities that allowed it to be one of most produced Soviet fighters of World War II. It was produced in different variants. The Yak-9U had a more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics. The Yak-9 remained in production from 1942 to 1948, with 16769 units built (14579 during the war). The Yak-9UM (modernized version) has been stripped of guns, decreasing the wing loading and features an american Allison V-12 engine with a whooping 1500 hp.

Russian jets are getting worse in cobras, su-27 could go 140 aoa in a cobra, su-57 can barely pull 120 aoa and still climbs
