While the MIG 3 was comparable to the German ME 109, the YAK 9 became the main fighter of the Soviet Air Forces and Russian industry was producing over 1000 planes a month (of all types) by early 1942. The German attack on Stalingrad included large air bombardments and the Luftwaffe decimated the Red Air Force and Soviet air became a non-factor in the fighting. However, with new plane production, the Soviets were able to achieve air superiority when the counter offensives became on the Eastern front un 1942 and 1943.
