This aircraft entered production in the 1930s and was widely used by the USSR from 1934 to 1943. The I-16 was the world’s first fighter equipped with retractable landing gear, remaining unmatched in its field for several years, which made it an icon of Soviet aviation in the interwar period and the early years of World War II.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis particular version – \u003cstrong\u003eType 28\u003c\/strong\u003e – was equipped with improved armament and a more powerful engine, allowing pilots to effectively compete against German and Japanese fighters during air battles over the Eastern Front, as well as in the Soviet-Japanese conflict in the Far East.
