Hi! La-200 night/all weather interceptor prototype with Toriy radar. Competitor of MiG I-320 and Sukhoi Su-15. https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/323878-la-200/ http://w01.fitcall.net/akaihoshi/finished_work/fws_la200t_av72/fw_la200t_av72.html
"The La-200 was a jet fighter prototyped in the Soviet Union at the end of the 1940s and was developed with the aim of an all-weather aircraft equipped with high-performance radar. However, radar at that time was large and heavy, the engine was power-less even though the diameter was large, and the realization of all-weather performance was a muri situation in a small single-engine fighter. The idea put out there is to make the engine a twin engine arranged vertically in the fuselage, and to reduce the front area to the same as a single-engine aircraft, obtain a large output while reducing air resistance, and make it an aircraft that can load large radars. The prototype was made by Mikoyan Grevich, Sukhoi and Labo Chicken design bureaus, but the la bo chicken La-200 was tested to the very end. There are two prototypes of the La-200, one of which is a toriy radar placed in a relatively large redome and placed in the center of an annular air inlet (this exhibition). The other is a type equipped with a slightly smaller Korshun radar on the top of the nose. Both aircraft seemed to have problems with the radar, and later developed into the La-200B, which was equipped with a large diameter radar full of noses."
