This plane never was in action. Factory tests were conducted on with only 3 copies. In 1946, 48 airplanes were produced in Tbilisi at No. 31 Plant, all with defects in the propeller-engine group, which could not be eliminated during production. At the end of 1946 the project was closed and the VK-107A engine was stayed with more suitable YAK-9U.
Yak-9U VK-107A (32 aircraft produced by plant No.82) were tested for combat use in 163 Sedletsky Red Banner IAP 336 Kovel Red Banner IAD 3 Air Army VVS from October 25 to December 25, 1944 over East Prussia.
During the military trials, 398 sorties were flown with a total flight time of 299 hours. The number of air battles - 26, successful - 18. Shot down: 27 FW-190A, 1 Me-109G-2. Yak-9U losses: from fighters - two aircraft, from anti-aircraft fire - one, non-combat losses - four. Ratio of combat losses in air battles: 28:2.
