Description
The Yak-3 is a Soviet single-engine fighter aircraft, a single-seat, single-engine piston fighter-monoplane of mixed design. Some of the aircraft's components were made of wood and canvas (wings), while others were made of metal.
Years of production 1944-1946.
In the summer of 1942, in the battles near Stalingrad, the German army saw FW-190 fighters, which were significantly superior to USSR aircraft in speed, climb rate and armament. A fighter was needed that could compete on equal terms with the latest modifications of German aircraft.
To create the fighter, the Yak-1 aircraft was taken as a basis.
The first aircraft entered the USSR army in July 1944. One of the regiments that received the Yak-3, 41 aircraft, was on a mission to gain air superiority in the Lviv offensive operation. In the regiment, the share of experienced pilots was 60%, and 40% participated in battles for the first time. In the first three weeks there were seven encounters with German aircraft. A total of 23 aircraft were shot down: 3 Ju-87, 14 Bf-109G, 6 FW-190A. The regiment's combat losses were two fighters, three were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery fire.
The Yak-3 showed itself most successfully in the fight against enemy fighter aircraft. Using it to cover ground troops and escort bombers was impractical due to the limited supply of fuel.
In 1944, 90 aircraft were lost, in 1945, 25 aircraft. The problem of the fighter was its low flight range (the average duration of a combat mission was 40-45 minutes, taking into account the 20% fuel reserve), and the instrumentation made night flights impossible.
A total of 4,848 aircraft were produced.
Armament is a 20-mm automatic cannon and two 12.7-mm rapid-fire cannons.
Operation of the Yak-3 outside the USSR:
Albania: in the late 1940s, several Yak-3 aircraft, removed from service with the Yugoslav Air Force, were transferred to the Albanian Air Force without approval from the USSR.
Poland: received about 20 Yak-3 aircraft. At the end of 1946, the Yak-3 aircraft were replaced by the Yak-9P.
France: in August 1944, the Normandy-Niemen regiment began retraining for Yak-3 aircraft. After the war, it was decided to transfer the regiment's aircraft to the French Republic. The regiment received 38 Yak-3 aircraft and in 1945 the aircraft were used in the Paris air defense system.
Yugoslavia: at the end of 1944, a regiment flying the Yak-3 was formed from Serbian pilots. After the war, Yak-3 aircraft were donated to Yugoslavia by the Soviet government. Yak-3 aircraft were operated in Yugoslavia until 1952.
