The Mikoyan I-270 was an experimental rocket powered interceptor developed in the USSR immediately after World War II. The concept was not successful and only two aeroplanes of this type were made.

The Russians experimented with a rocket powered interceptor during World War II but it was not successful.

Despite this, in 1945 Russian authorities issued a requirement for another rocket powered interceptor, perhaps inspired by the Messerchmitt Me263 that had been captured from the Germans at the end of the war.

Two prototypes of the Mikoyan I-270 were ordered and it seems that both were damaged during testing and not repaired.

By the late 1940s interested had turned to from manned rocket powered interceptors to surface air missiles which would do the same job much more efficiently.

This model represents the second prototype.
