We can talk here about the Sukhoi early series, Su 9,11 & 13,

- Su-9 (Aircraft L) was a single seat jet fighter project,large canopy and fate
fuselage,and smalled in lengtha little to thenext entry,later developed to
the Aircraft K,1945
- Su-9 (Aircraft K) was a single seat jet fighter,based on Messerschmitt Me.262,
the engines were mounted under a trapezoidal straight wing,RD-10 jets,1945
- Su-9T was a two-seat trainer fighter project,also powered by two RD-10
engines,1946
- Su-9 (Second prototype) developed from first one,and it was to be powered
by two RD-10 augmented engines,the RD-10 augmented version was developed
by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in cooperation with the TslAM,1946
- Su-9 was a single seat jet fighter project,powered by two RD-10 engines,
which mounted in the wing,1946
- Su-9 was a single seat jet fighter project,improved by fitted with thorium

History:
Designed by P.O.Sukhoj and included the crash program in 1945. Given authorisation in May 1944 for two prototypes and one static-test airframe. The Sukhoi Su 9 was by far the best of the first generation of Soviet jets and as good if not better as any thing in the West at the time.

Thought of as a copy of the Me 262 because of it's lay out, the aircraft was of a completely indigenous design, the Su 9 had it's first flight in August 1946, flown by G.Kochyetkov. One prototype was demonstrated to the world at the Tushino airforce parade on the 3/7/1947. The NII considered the Su-9 so good it recommended series-production as soon as possible, but the Su-9 never went into production as it's resemblance to the German Me 262 made the authorities (Stalin) uncomfortable and would lead in the end to Sukhoj's design bureau being closed in November 1949 and Sukhoj "falling out of favour" until the death of Stalin.
Improvements were made to the Su-9 in late 1946, resulting in the Su-11. Little changed to the Su-9 apart the fitting of two Lyulka TR-1 engines (the first aircraft to be fitted with Lyulka turbojet engines). The Su-11 had it's maiden flight on 28/5/1947, as with the Su-9 an outstanding aircraft, but a jealous A.S.Yakovlev told Stalin "Copy of the Me 262 and dangerous to fly".

Su-11/Su-13 Fighter - Bomber

In mid-1947, a draft design of a modified Su-11 aircraft with two Dervent-V engines (a domestic analogue of the RD-500) was developed, which received the designation Su-13 in correspondence. However, due to the lack of stocks of production facilities at plant No. 134, the construction of the Su-13 practically did not begin.

Come down please,and the site which you shared from a while contains
a strange two things,

Modifications:

The Su-9 is a fighter-bomber with the RD-10 turbojet engine.
The Su-11 is an aircraft with TR-1engines (development of the S-18).
The Su-13 is a frontline fighter, a modification of the Su-11 aircraft. It was
supposed to replace the TR-1 engines with more powerful RD-500, use a
wing with a relative thickness reduced from 11 to 9%, and a swept
horizontal tail.
