Seems like the Soviet Mustang...

Verkoshin VF-1, copied version of the P-51.


Story:

The Verkoshin VF-1 (Russian: ???????? ??-1) was a single-engine, single-seat light fighter manufactured by Verkoshin Design Bureau, this is the first variant of the VF fighter series. Developed secretly from the North American P-51 Mustang.

First flight in the end of 1941, the aircraft was originally intended to compete with more modern German aircraft, and to destroy enemy air defenses on the occupied Soviet territory. (don't take it seriously)

The Soviet Union didn't really intend to steal the design of the P-51, but at the insistence of the government at the time, they did it. Of course, without the slightest suspicion from the US, they did it in a secret cave near the Verkoshin aircraft plant.

This plane has a good reputation as the best fighter during the war, fast, agile and agile make it difficult to downed by enemy fighters.
