A lot of the history sounds like the history of the Yak-9T with the 37mm. I thought the Yak-9K wasn’t used much outside of a small batch to test the new 45mm cannon :3

[@lucA10Thunderbolt]

You're correct, my research resulted in the same information and that only a small amount of Yak-9Ks were actually produced. The Yak-9K was a modified subvariant of the Yak-9T, the Yak-9K's 45mm cannon reduced the flight performance heavily to the point where Yak-9Ks were assigned heavy fighter duties and actually had to be escorted by Yak 3s in case of failure. It saw limited production as German bombers decreased.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind for future videos.

You're right, it is "clickbait"... I didn't make the cannonball big enough!
