Hello comrade! Da, eto Yakovlev 3th Pushechniy!

The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian: ??????? ??-3) is a single-engine, single-seat World War II Soviet fighter. Robust and easy to maintain, it was much liked by both pilots and ground crew.[2] One of the smallest and lightest combat fighters fielded by any combatant during the war, its high power-to-weight ratio gave it excellent performance and it proved to be a formidable dogfighter.[3]

Origins

The origins of the Yak-3 went back to 1941 when the I-30 prototype was offered along with the I-26 (Yak-1) as an alternative design. The I-30, powered by a Klimov M-105P engine, was of all-metal construction, using a wing with dihedral on the outer panels. Like the early Yak-1, it had a 20 mm (0.79 in) ShVAK cannon firing through the hollow-driveshaft nose spinner as a motornaya pushka (???????? ????? - Literally: 'Motor Cannon'), twin 7.62 mm (0.300 in) synchronized ShKAS machine guns in cowling mounts and a ShVAK cannon in each wing.

During the Battle of Stalingrad, Luftwaffe fighters exhibited significant speed, climb rate, and armament advantages over those of the VVS. The Yak-1 then in service was understood to be in urgent need of a modernization were it to fight on equal footing against the latest models of German fighters, as well as better energy retention and higher firepower.

Then, in 1943, a group of designers headed by Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev designed the Yak-3, a further development of the proven Yak-1 aimed at improving survivability, flight characteristics and firepower, which required a lower weight, a higher-power engine and therefore, faster speed.

Yak-3P

The Yak-3P is a Soviet single-engine fighter aircraft developed by Alexander Yakovlev in 1944 and is a modernized version ofBy 1944, the firepower of the Yak-3 was already insufficient to combat new, more protected aircraft of the Third Reich, so when developing the Yak-3P, the main emphasis was placed on strengthening the forward armament with minimal possible changes to the aircraft design. The latter made it possible to build prototypes and conduct their state tests in a very short time, as well as begin serial production in April 1945. Instead of a 20-mm ShVAK motor cannon and two synchronized 12.7-mm UBS machine guns, the Yak-3P was equipped with one B-20M motor cannon and two synchronous B-20S. However, due to its late appearance, the Yak-3P did not have time to take part in the air battles of the Great Patriotic War. A total of 596 vehicles of this modification were produced, which were in active service for only 4 years.
