looks as if the Su-5 was a hybrid jet/prop plane

thanks,
looks like a usual prop driven plane from the front, the intake is for the jet and the engine drives the turbine!

Did any of the Su-1, 3,5, 7 have combat?
They look like they would give the German's a good fight.

i agree
Hi MP-Willow !!!
According to Russian sources Su-1/3/5/7 were only the experimental airplanes and were never used in combat. Both Su-1 and Su-3 had problems with turbochargers. As a result, they were never finished and produced as serial fighters. As far as Su-5 and Su-7 are concerned,they were used to test combined powerplant. Su-5 was equipted with VRDK jet booster and Su-7 with a liquid rocket booster. The additional engines made them faster than other planes but without boosters their performances weren't remarkable to the piston powered aircrafts. Besides, the war was shortly over and the new jet planes appeared better ones.

What type of actions were they in? How did they preform with the 109s and 190s?
Hi MP-Willow !!!
Sorry for my English.I think it was my mistake to use "performance".Certainly I thought about their technical abilities, for instance speed.According the Russian sources they never fought with BF-109s or FW-190s.Sorry again.
Best wishes
