I-153 fighter was designed by Polikarpov bureau in 1937. This aircraft was a further development of the I-15 fighter. The serial production had started in Moscow in 1939 at #1 plant and continued until 1941. In total 3437 aircraft were built. This fighter was first used in Khalkhin-Gol river battle on June 7th. The fighting experience showed that I-153 could only be used with I-16, otherwise the losses were significant. By the beginning of war, I-153 along with I-16 formed the foundation of Soviet fighter aviation. The I-153 served at the Air Force of the Northern Navy until the end of war as the guardians of internal marine convoys in the White Sea.
