The Lagg-3 was a Russian single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber aircraft of the Second World War. The Lagg-3 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane designed by Lavochkin, Gorbunov and Gudkov. It was armed with one 20 mm Shpitalny-Vladimirov motor-cannon and two 12.7 mm Beresin synchronised machine-guns mounted over the engine. In addition six 25 kg rocket-propelled fragmentation bombs could also be carried on special guide rails under the wings. A M-105P 12-cylinder 60 degree Vee liquid-cooled engine provided a top speed of 557 kmh and a cruising speed of 446 kmh. Research Lagg-3
