MiG-9: The Parade Fighter!

Friday Jul 25, 2025

Friday Jul 25, 2025

Tanner is back with a facinating look at the origins of jet powered fighter aircraft in the Soviet era! Don't expect HUDs or air-to-air missiles, Soviet pilots were lucky if they could fire their guns AND keep their engine running at the same time! Enjoy!

Most of us know Beechcraft for its reliable trainers and business aircraft—but what if I told you they also built a fierce ground-attack prototype around a tank cannon?
In this teaser, we scratch the surface of the XA-38 “Grizzly,” a twin-engine warplane that looked like a fighter, hit like a howitzer, and almost made it into WWII. Why was it built, and why did it disappear?
To hear the full story—including its surprising performance, clever design features, and the wartime decisions that sealed its fate—join us over on Patreon for the complete bonus episode and more exclusive content.
