Super -Tiger vs SU-9 FISHPOT
The two are from the same era of late 1950s. The performance of mach 2.0 and 30 k feet per min in climb rate and carry 4 air to air IR seeking missiles the Super retained it's 4x20 mm canons while the SU-9 is without guns.
The engines are J79 for the Tiger and AL- 7 for the SU-9.
The J79 is by far the better engine of the two with better technology and economy !!!
The service carrier of the SU-9 in former USSR was not long and a better version named SU-11 was interduced to service but was not produced in big numbers - served until early 80's and was never exported out of former USSR.
As for the models the SU-9 is from hobby model and the Super Tiger from Stalhart and both models reduced to 1:48 scale.
