"At Design Bureau No. 1 of Plant No. 81 MAP (chief designer and director I.P. Shebanov), they developed special single-shot ORO-82 rocket cannons for firing TRS-82 projectiles. These cannons were designed as smooth-walled tubes with a rear outlet for propellant gases. These cannons could be mounted not only under the wing but also inside the fuselage, significantly reducing the aircraft's aerodynamic drag."
"Here, work began on the creation of two types of centimeter-range aircraft radar interception and targeting stations: the "Toriy-1" for multi-seat fighters, and the "Toriy-2" for single-seat fighters. The chief designer of both was Stalin Prize laureate A.B. Slepushkin. As noted in the 1946 annual report of NII-17, "... the design of the "Toriy-2" station is being carried out with regard to a specific aircraft being designed by Chief Designer Comrade S.A. Lavochkin, and, in particular, the completed design phase of the preliminary design for the "Toriy-2" station has already been tested by representatives of the Lavochkin Design Bureau and found satisfactory...""
The above article briefly touches on the the simultaneous development of the aircraft's radar and weapon, and seems to imply that both were developed specifically for the I-162. I am curious about this. My questions are:
Was the single tube ORO-82 developed specifically for the I-162? Was it employed by other aircraft designs?
Was the Toriy-2 radar developed specifically for the I-162? Was it employed by other aircraft designs?
What was the state of development of these systems?
