1 MiG-9A 57 SOVIET FIGHTER 1:8 SCALE PLASTIC KIT intro The roots of e MiG-9 can be traced back to e end of e sixties and beginning of e seventies. At at time, information had leaked out at e United States was working on e F-X program, from which emerged e F-15 Eagle. The Soviet Union, obviously, could not be left behind in e arms race, and e General Staff formulated requirements for e Perspektivniy frontovoy istrebitel (PFI - Advanced Frontal Fighter Aircraft). It was to have e ability to take off from small, unprepared fields, have a useful combat radius, excellent turn around time and be able to carry a varied payload. The speed of e machine was to be in excess of Mach. Aerodynamic study was passed to TSAGI in co-operation wi OKB Sukhoi. It became clear at e best route to take would include two roads. As a result, e PFI program was expanded to also include e PLFI (Advanced Light Frontal Fighter Aircraft), which was to result in e Soviet answer to e F- Fighting Falcon lightweight fighter. The plans assumed at e Soviet air force would be composed of one-ird PFI aircraft, and two-irds PLFI, and as such would find its adversary to be mainly e F- and e YF-17 (which evolved into e F/A-18). The PFI program wi Sukhoi led to e Su-7. The PLFI was entrusted to e Mikoyan bureau. Work on e latter type, under e factory designation Izdelye 9 began in 197, and ree years later, on October, 1977, e aircraft first took to e air. The program suffered setbacks anks to e loss of two prototypes, due to problems traced back to e engines. In 198, air force tests were concluded, and anks to positive results, e first production machines began to reach Soviet frontal fighter units. These new aircraft began to replace e MiG-. In keeping wi e requirements, e aircraft could lift off from unprepared strips. Auxiliary air intakes on top of e blended fuselage/wing structure provided air on e ground, allowing e regular intakes to close and prevent FOD. The existence of e new fighter was discovered by NATO very early after e program began, and e ASCC allocated e name Fulcrum A. Besides e base version of e MiG-9 (Izdelyie 9-1), ere was also e MiG-9B, an export version intended for countries outside of e Warsaw Pact. Training was carried out on a two-seat version, e MiG-9UB (Izdelyie 9-51), which carried e NATO codename Fulcrum B. Furer development and production was impacted by e fall of e communist block, and e inevitable economic collapse of e Soviet Union and its consequent splitting up of state assets wi varying degrees of dependence on Russia. Production also came for e MiG-9K and MiG-9SMT (bo coded Fulcrum D ). The MiG-9K is a navalized variant and besides wi e country of origin, it also flies wi e Indian Navy. The intended role is at of carrier fighter for e Vikramaditya (formerly e Soviet carrier Admiral Gorshkov ). The SMT is a modernized variant of e MiG-9. úvodem Koøeny vzniku MiGu-9 sahají až do pøelomu 0. a 70. let minulého století. Tehdy vešlo ve známost, že americké ozbrojené síly pracují na programu F-X, jehož výsledkem se stal typ F-15 Eagle. Sovìtský svaz pochopitelnì ve zbrojních závodech nemohl zùstat pozadu. Generální štáb zformuloval požadavky na Perspektivnyj frontovoj istrebitìl (PFI - pokroèilý frontový stíhací letoun). Mìl mít schopnost operovat z malých, nezpevnìných ploch, disponovat znaèným doletem, vynikající obratností a nést rozsáhlou výzbroj. Požadována také byla rychlost stroje vyšší než machy. Prací na aerodynamické studii se zhostil CAGI ve spolupráci s konstrukèní kanceláøí Suchoj. Záhy se však ukázalo, že bude potøeba jít dvìma cestami. K programu PFI tak pøibyl ještì program PLFI (pokroèilý lehký frontový stíhací letoun), který mìl sovìtskému letectvu dát ekvivalent lehkého stíhacího stroje F- Fighting Falcon. Plány pøedpokládaly, že sovìtské letectvo by se mìlo skládat z jedné tøetiny z letounù PFI a ze dvou tøetiny ze strojù PLFI a mít tak protivníky letounù F- a YF-17 (pozdìji F/A-18). Programu PFI se s definitivní platností ujal Suchoj a výsledkem se stal typ Su-7. Program PLFI dostala na starost konstrukèní kanceláø Mikojan. Práce na letounu pod továrním oznaèením Izdìlje 9 zaèaly v roce 197 a o tøi roky pozdìji,. øíjna 1977, se letoun dostal poprvé do vzduchu. Program se dostal do skluzu díky haváriím dvou prototypù, pøíèinou byly problémy s motory. V roce 198 byly dokonèeny testy provádìné letectvem a na základì jejich kladného závìru zaèaly v témže roce dodávky sériových letounù k prvním jednotkám sovìtského frontového letectva. Zde nové stroje zaèaly nahrazovat MiGy-. V souladu se zadáním mohly operovat také z nezpevnìných ploch. Nasátí neèistot do motorù zabraòovaly alternativní vstupy vzduchu na horní ploše køídla, tzv. žábry. Existenci nového stíhacího letounu rozvìdka NATO zjistila velmi brzy po jeho vzniku. Kódové oznaèení znìlo Fulcrum A. Kromì základní verze MiG-9 (Izdìlje 9-1) vznikla také hùøe vybavená verze MiG-9B, která byla exportována do zemí, které nebyly èleny Varšavské smlouvy. Pro výcvik slouží dvoumístná varianta MiG-9UB (Izdìlje 9-51), kterou NATO nazývala Fulcrum B. Další vývoj a výrobu letounu poznamenal rozpad komunistického bloku a s ním spojený ekonomický kolaps Sovìtského svazu a jeho následné štìpení na státní útvary s rùznou úrovní nezávislosti na Rusku. Výroby se doèkaly ještì verze MiG-9K a MiG-9SMT (obì znaèené Fulcrum D ). Verze SMT pøedstavuje modernizovanou podobu devìtadvacítek. MiG-9K je novalizovaná varianta devìtadvacítky a kromì zemì svého pùvodu létá také v indických službách. Zamýšlena je služba na letadlové lodi Vikramaditja (pùvodnì sovìtské plavidlo Admirál Gorškov). E MiG-9B, Iranian Air Force, Squadron, Teheran-Mehrabad, Iran, 1990s. This aircraft was part of e first delivery batch of MiG-9s to Iran in The actual factory type was e Izdelye 9-1B, which was an electronically downgraded export version below e standard of at which was delivered to e Warsaw Pact. The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force took delivery of MiG-9s between 1990 and 1991, including four UB two-seaters. Anoer four arrived from Iraq during e first Gulf War. Currently, Iran has two bases operating MiG-9s. The Squadron is based at Mehrabad, and Tabriz is home rd to e Squadron.

From November, 1990, e bird flew wi e Flight, 5 GvIAP (Guards Fighter Unit) based at Kakaydy (in today s Uzbekistan). This unit stationed at is base flew in e days of e Soviet Union on a list of fighter types, including e MiG-17, -19, -1 and -9. During Soviet involvement in Afghanistan, Kakaydy was a key airfield in central Asia, and MiG-9s appeared here for e first time in In July, 1991, is machine was transferred to e base Mary-1, which is located in today s Turkmenistan, and was pressed into service wi e nd Flight 151st AB (Aviabaza - Air Base ). This MiG-9A of e initial production phase was tasked wi playing e aggressor role, and at explains e white cockpit framing. Influenced by combat ops wi adversary elements and VF-178 Skyraiders flying off of e USS Intrepid, e aircraft was adorned wi a sharkmou, a hornet on e vertical tail, and e letters AM on e fin top.

(Fighter Air Regiment) in Zatec AB in late 80 s. This was one of ten MiG-9As delivered at were capable of carrying e RN-0 nuclear weapon. This capability was removed from e aircraft to satisfy conditions imposed by international nuclear disarmament agreements. In all, Czechoslovakia took delivery of eighteen single seat and two two-seat MiG-9s from e Soviet Union. In October, 199, e slp MiG-9s were st transferred to Ceske Budejovice to e 1 slp. Over e course of dividing up assets between e Czech Republic and Slovakia in 199, is aircraft remained in e Czech Republic, and became a part of a controversial agreement at saw e Czech MiGs go to Poland for eleven W-A Sokol utility helicopters.
