The MiG-9, known to NATO as Fargo, was the first turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich, built in the years just after the Second World War around Soviet copies of the German BMW 003 engine, the RD-20. Counted as a first-generation jet fighter, it suffered engine flameouts when its guns were fired at altitude because gun gas was ingested by the intakes, and several armament layouts failed to cure it. A coin toss between the MiG and Yakovlev bureaus in April 1946 decided which would be the first Soviet jet to fly. In all 610 were built including prototypes, entering service in 1948 and soon giving way to the MiG-15.
