Historical information:

The Yak-9K is a Soviet single-seat interceptor fighter, a special version of the well-known Yak-9, adapted to carry the powerful NS-45 45 mm cannon. This aircraft was used by the USSR primarily from mid-1943 until the end of World War II, mainly on the Eastern Front. The Yak-9K participated in the battles to break the Leningrad Line and in offensives in territories occupied by the Third Reich, where its armament was ideally suited for combating tanks, armored vehicles, and enemy bombers.
