Re: Soviet Hurricanes - where, when, ...?
I believe that both the Yak 1 and the LaGG outperform the Hurricane on paper - as indeed they should, being 3 years later in concept. However, the LaGGs as delivered in 1941/42 suffered badly from poor building standards, and fell well below the design intentions.
Plus, of course, it does rather depend upon the altitude at which the speed is measured: I would expect the Hurricane to be the faster performer above 20 000ft: which is not where the Russians wanted to fight.
