The Lyrics

During WW2, designer M.I. Gudkov (one of three who designed the LAGG-3 fighter) had the idea of a Russian jet fighter based on the Lyulka RTD-1/VDR-2 turbojet engine. With no influence from the West, his Gu-VDR had strange features: stepped lay-out with the engine located at the bottom of the fuselage aft of the nose, under the pilot and 4-split nose intake. Exhaust exited to the rear of the wing roots. The fuselage was based on the LAGG-3. His design was evaluated by N-II-VVS in 1943 and work commenced on the engine first. The engine was bench-tested at around 1500 lb st but then another jet was proposed of more power- the VDR-3/S-18 which would take another 2 years to complete! That sealed the fate of the jet aircraft. With the delays and crash of another Gudkov aircraft, the Gu-37, which caused an injury… Gudkov’s design bureau was shut-down and no Russian jet fighter entered the war. Sukhoi had a hybrid prop-jet, the Su-5, which was tested but was not operational either (even with a speed of 500 mph)!
Gudkov jet of no use
fell behind

Lyulka jet was something new
Sparked interest
No West influence

Gudkov almost had it
But work was slowed down
Had a LAGG-3 body
VDR-2 was tested on the ground

[VDR-3 slowed and then shut-down]

Gudkov jet of no use
fell behind
Over time

Not produced
Not produced
Not produced
Could have been Russia’s jet
It was not spared
Crash in ‘43 (Gu-37)
Answer was “Nyet”!!!

[No turbojet]

Not to be
Gudkov jet of no use
fell behind
(Bureau closed after injury)
