Another production version of the I-300/F. It was almost identical to the I-301/FS, except afterburning RD-20F engines.
Modifications:
- 'MiG-9 with the butterfly' had a distinctive butterfly-shaped 'muffler' on the NS-37 cannon. It was added to re-direct gun smoke away from engine intake. The reason was obvious - in several cases firing of this big gun chocked the engine with a smoke. This was a 1948 modification of serial 'FF' and came too late, because at the time this aircraft was already retiring.
