Description
 
The Su-9's fuselageand tail surfaces resembled those of the Su-7, but unlike the swept wing ofthat aircraft, the 'Fishpot' used a 53 delta wing withconvention al slab tailplanes. The Su-9 had primitive R1L radar in the shock cone and was armedwith four K-5 (AA-1 'Alkali') beam-riding air-to-air missiles. Like allbeam-riders, the K-5 was so limited as to be nearly useless for air-to-aircombat. Unlike the Su-7 and later Su-15, no Su-9 carried cannon armament,although two fuselage pylon s were reserved for the carriage of drop tanks.
