30.0k Dumpworks  7.7 years ago

One of the Soviet Unions first jet aircraft clearly this aircraft is based on the Me-262, only it was designed with different engines, though those were a copy of German jet engines, the only real differance is the fuselage shape, and unswept wings, though the original Su-9 was slower than it's competitors so 2 other versions were designed the Su-11 and Su-13 though these new versions couldn't live up to the Soviet Unions requests
