Dive into the thrilling history of the Polikarpov I-16, a revolutionary fighter aircraft that dominated the skies from the mid-1930s to the early stages of World War II. Known affectionately as the 'Ishak' or 'Rata' by troops, this agile and compact plane was a true pioneer, being the first to boast a retractable landing gear, enclosed cockpit, and all-metal construction. With over 7,000 units produced, the I-16 was a backbone of the Soviet Air Forces, playing a pivotal role in conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War and the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. Its impressive maneuverability, combined with a formidable armament of machine guns and rockets, made it a formidable adversary. The I-16's legacy as a trailblazer in aerial combat is undeniable, marking a significant leap forward in military aviation technology.
