The I-3U ( or I-420) was a prototype of Soviet interceptor, designed in mid 1950s. The plane was equipped with innovated flight system "Uragan-1” ( in English: Hurricane-1"), which was intended for automated flight control and shooting. Although the I-3U has shown excellent flight performance during its tests program, due to the unreliability of its VC-3 jet engine, the whole project was canceled in 1958.
