Yugoslav Me-262 WHIF

[Arc3371]

In 1947-48 a Yugoslav delegation ordered a number of Avia S-92 (Me-262) which weren´t delivered due to changes in the political situation. Let us assume that the Comintern affair had erupted a year later so that these aircraft had been delivered.

How well would the S-92 fare against in border clashes against the neighbouring states MiG-9 and Yak-23 ?

It's the man, not the machine. Probably well considering the Mig-9/Yak-23 weren't the greatest performers.

Anyways where than any actual 'border clashes' between Yugoslavia and Uncle Joe support regeims of the Warsaw Pact?

This means they probably wouldn't have received some American aircraft like the F-84.

The F-84s weren´t delivered until much later, the first MDAP deliveries were F-47 and Mosquitos. There weren´t any serious clashes but gunfire was exchanged frequently during ´48-´50 especially along the Hungarian and Bulgarian borders.

MiG-9 and Yak-23 ?

Su-9 would have been better (not the supersonic interceptor, its forerunner).    

[Arc3371]

That would require a second what if, that the Su-9 (I) went in to production.

Thanks for the tip

I know that. Just mentionned it because it was a clone of the 262
