The story sounds too good to be true, but it could be real.

in RL serial fighters never had vya-23, only several laggs of 21 or, most likely, 153 plant in late'41-early'42 (one of these laggs was captured by japan), but i know about these cases for yaks with ns-37/45, which really could be true, why not...
