Lore:
In 1953, the Soviet government required a radar interceptor to cover the Siberian lands. Given this, Crackovovich responded with the Cra-4 (NATO Code Name: Forest), a Subsonic twin jet fighter.

Armed with four 23mm cannons in the nose and four Vymple-13/R-3 missiles. When the Crackovovich was introduced, it was already behind, given its speed. Later variants were navalized or turned into subsonic export attackers and trainers. A later aircraft was near immediately started after, turning the Cra-4 into an interim solution and subpar one at that.

Notes: I was waiting for SP2, but given the delay, I might as well work on stuff here. I also couldn't find jet powered Soviet night fighters, so I did my best. Hope you enjoy.
