MiG-9 Fargo

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG 9 Fargo

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-9, USAF/DOD designation Type 1, NATO reporting name: Fargo[1]) was the first Soviet turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich in the years immediately after World War II.
It used reverse-engineered German BMW 003 engines. Categorized as a first generation jet fighter, it was moderately successful, but suffered from persistent problems with engine flameouts when firing its guns at high altitudes due to gun gas ingestion. A number of different armament configurations were tested, but nothing solved the problem.
Several different engines were evaluated, but none were flown as the prototype of the MiG-15 promised superior performance.
