The Suchoj Su-9U is a two-seat training version of the famous Su-9 fighter, which was one of the main elements of the Soviet Union's air defense during the Cold War. This aircraft was used to train pilots in the 1960s and 1970s, mainly within the USSR. Its primary task was to prepare pilots for operating single-seat variants of the Su-9 interceptor fighter, which operated, among others, in the Siberian region and secured the airspace around strategic installations. The U version (Uchebnyj – Trainer) significantly facilitated the training process, contributing to the increased effectiveness of Soviet fighter aviation.
