The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-9 USAF/DOD designation Type 1 NATO reporting name: Fargo) was the first turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich in the years immediately after World War II. It used reverse-engineered German BMW 003 engines. Categorized as a first generation jet fighter it was moderately successful but suffered from persistent problems with engine flameouts when firing its guns at high altitudes due to gun gas ingestion.
