Suspended armament
The Su-9 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 1 x 250 kg FAB-250M-46 bomb (250 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg FAB-250M-46 bombs (500 kg total)
- 1 x 500 kg FAB-500M-46 bomb (500 kg total)
Usage in battles
Air RB
This plane has great firepower but always watch the ammo count so you won't run out of bullets. The plane has 90 mm of bulletproof glass in front of the pilot, so your pilot has a high chance of survival in head-ons. Once the plane gets up to speed, it becomes a great bomber hunter. Keep in mind that this plane has a slow acceleration. Use HE belt or air targets belt as it will shred enemy aircraft in pieces with just a few well-aimed shots.
Ground RB
The Su-9 is capable of destroying ground targets with its suspended armament. When dive bombing, don't pull of to late as the engines aren't that powerful. It is possible to destroy some light and medium tanks with the right ammunition belt. For destroying tanks, top-down approaches are heavily recommended.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Powerful offensive armament
- Airbrakes
Cons:
- Bad acceleration and bad climb rate
- Low ammunition count
- Very sluggish with suspended armament
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

The Shooting Range #249 - Pages of History section at 04:25 discusses the Su-9.
