Hi,everybody:

This is my first post in this forum,excuse my basic english,please.The Yak-7 V,carried any kind of gun?The diferent sources I have about this topic have discrepancies.I know that the Yak-7 V was just a "familiarization" aircraft,and the Yak-7 UTI was the combat trainer,am I right?.Any help will be very appreciated.

With all due respect for everyone else on this forum, for my money, the local Yak expert is a guy who uses the posting handle "Dark Green Man". Maybe with some luck he'll jump in on this one, or you could try contacting him by e-mail - check the registered users list. Good luck!

well, you gentlemen really don't need me do you?
the Yak-7UTI (conversion trainer/fighter) had a single 7.62 mm SHKas gun on the left side (like the Yak-9) for gunnery training and practice.
the Yak-7V (familiarization) had no armament at all.

p.s. John, thanks for the vote of confidence !

Martin, you are quite welcome.
let me know if you need any other Yak fighter info,I do not know everything but I will share it if I know it.

while I am at it I should clarify that the Yak-9's had a 12.7 mm UBS not a SHKas , what I meant is that it is on the left side only not on the right or both as in the Yak-7A,b and Yak-3.

This is a matter of discussion, actually... I've spoken with vets who had 2 UBS mg's on their Yak-9, although it seems that it was not a common weapons arrangement. About trainer weapons - it was not unified, so anything could be used...

Yes, I have heard this before...
I was referring to the factory installed armament, not field modifications.
this personal 'upgrade' would have to have been very rare and only on a regiment -to-regiment basis and not applied to the whole of Yak-9 production.

Yak -9 of first production line of at least 50 units had 2 UBS's, then it would be installed with an unidentified frequency, but still in the factory, i suppose - it depended on the mg's presence at this given moment. I heard about reducing the amount of guns in the field, but adding...

I understand that the first Yak-9s had 2 UBS because they were based in the Yak-7b,am I wrong?

You are right - two machines were built at the same production line, so to reduce the time to conversion they were as unified as it could be only possible...
