The second generation of the venerable fighter - modifications of the Yak-9U / P began to be developed at the end of 1942, when instead of the previously installed M-105 engine (M-105PF - Ed.) Of the designer Klimov, they began to use the more powerful M-107 engine. (VK-107A. - Ed.). In addition, the aerodynamics were improved, and the plywood sheathing was replaced with metal.
