It also had an armament that consisted of a single 20mm autocannon and one 12.7mm machine guns. This model was also capable of equipping up to 200 kilograms worth of bombs. Becoming operational in 1942, it was first sent into combat during the Battle of Stalingrad.
- The Yakovlev Yak-9 'Frank' was an interceptor aircraft used by the Soviet Union during and after World War 2.
- The Yakovlev Yak-9 was a single-engine fighter aircraft used by the Soviet Union in World War II and after. Fundamentally a lighter development of the Yak-7 with the same armament, it arrived at the front at the end of 1942. The Yak-9 had a lowered rear fuselage decking and all-around vision canopy. Its lighter airframe gave the new fighter a flexibility that previous models had lacked. The pilots who flew it regarded its performance as comparable with those of the Messerschmitt Bf 109G and Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-3/A-4. The Yak-9 was the most mass-produced Soviet fighter of all time. It remained in production from 1942 to 1948, with 16,769 built (14,579 during the war). It was the first Soviet aircraft to shoot down a Messerschmitt Me 262 jet. It was used by North Korea in the Korean War.
- There were many variants of the Yak-9 fighter (including a ground-attack variant), with a total of two different wings, five different engines, six different fuel tank combinations, and seven armament configurations. All of them shared a lightweight duraluminum design, lowered rear fuselage decking and an all-around-vision canopy. Though not as well-armed, the Yak-9 had superiority in top speed over all other fighters in service on the Despite these known problems, the Yak was ordered into mass production with 16,679 eventually being built.

| abstract | - The first production example of the Yak-9 series, simply designated the Yak-9 had a Klimov M-105 Engine that was capable of propelling it at speeds of up to 534 km/h.

- There were many variants of the Yak-9 fighter (including a ground-attack variant), with a total of two different wings, five different engines, six different fuel tank combinations, and seven armament configurations. All of them shared a lightweight duraluminum design, lowered rear fuselage decking and an all-around-vision canopy. Though not as well-armed, the Yak-9 had superiority in top speed over all other fighters in service on the Eastern front below 19,800 feet. They performed better in combat in numbers rather than one-on-one engagements. Nevertheless, the Luftwaffe considered the Yak-9 far more of a threat than prior Yaks, and at one point during the war, German pilots were instructed not to engage positively-identified Yak-9s. However, their M-105/VK-107 engines were notoriously problematic, leading to power plant overheating, oil leaks, loss of pressure during climbs, spark plugs burning out, intense vibration, and an extremely short engine life (25 hours). Despite these known problems, the Yak was ordered into mass production with 16,679 eventually being built.
