The I-16 was introduced in the mid-1930s and formed the backbone of the Soviet Air Force at the beginning of World War II. The diminutive fighter prominently featured in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Spanish Civil War where it was called the Rata (Nationalists) or Mosca (Republicans), and the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. The Finnish nickname for I-16 was Siipiorava (\"Flying Squirrel\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_PRP_FTR_I16\"\u003ePolikarpov I-16\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKnown primarily for its role in the Spanish Civil War, this advanced monoplane fighter first flew in December of 1933. Featuring revolutionary innovations such as retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit, by the beginning of World War II the Polikarpov I-16 comprised the heart of the Soviet Air Force. Light and easy to build, the I-16 was both practical and exceptional. Early variants were known for their aerobatic capabilities, including a 1.5 second barrel roll, and later versions lay claim to the title of   production fighter, with superior climb rates and a top speed of 282 mph.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clsCopyright\"\u003e© Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"airdrop militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48466576834819,"sku":"DDIJ00023","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/airdropmilitaria.com\/products\/1-72-ixo-models-ddij00023-polikarpov-i-16-11-for-stalin-flown-by-boris-feoktistovich-safonov-murmansk-1941-72nd-fap-u-s-s-r-air-force-limited-edition","provider":"airdrop militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
