The MiG-9 was developed from the I-300 (also called the izdeliye F (model or product F) by the OKB) prototype which first flew on April 24 1946 by test pilot Alexei N. Grinchik. The I-300 became Russia's first pure jet powered fighter only by one hour. The Yakovlev Yak-15's first flight was mere minutes following the I-300's first flight.

The MiG-9 was the Soviet Unions response to the west's advances in Jet technology immediately following WWII. Using captured German jet engines and Soviet aircraft design companies, they produced their first jet plane in 1945.
