O Polikarpov I-15 (em russo: И-15) foi um caça biplano soviético da década de 1930. Apelidado de Chaika (em russo: Чайка, "Gaivota") por causa de suas asas superiores engolfadas, foi operado em grande número pela Força Aérea Soviética e, juntamente com o monoplano Polikarpov I-16, foi um dos caças padrão dos republicanos espanhóis durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola, onde foi chamado de Chato (nariz esnobado).

General Characteristics and Role
The Polikarpov I-152, better known as the I-15bis, was a Soviet biplane fighter aircraft developed in the mid-1930s. It was a direct, albeit more conservative, development of the successful Polikarpov I-15 “Chaika” (Seagull). The I-15bis reverted to the conventional full upper wing (instead of the distinct “gull wing” of the original I-15), which simplified construction but slightly reduced performance. Despite being technically obsolete by the time the Soviet Union entered World War II, it saw extensive use in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet-Japanese border conflicts, and as a primary fighter aircraft in the early stages of the Eastern Front, often transitioning into a ground-attack role.

Powerplant and Performance
- Engine: One Shvetsov M-25V nine-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine.
- Power Output: 560 kW (750 hp).
- Maximum Speed: 370 km/h (230 mph; 200 kn) at 3,000 m (9,843 ft).
- Range: 770 km (480 mi; 420 nmi).
- Service Ceiling: 9,800 m (32,200 ft).
- Climb Rate: 7.7 m/s (1,520 ft/min).
Armament and Variants
- Fixed Armament: 4 x 7.62 mm PV-1 machine guns (or later, 4 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns) in the fuselage.
- External Ordnance: Up to 150 kg (331 lb) of bombs or 6 x RS-82 unguided rockets carried on underwing racks (a major feature that extended its service life).
- Key Design Differences from I-15: The primary change was the upper wing design. The I-15bis had a standard, straight-across upper wing supported by struts, lacking the inverted “gull wing” center section of the original I-15.
- I-15ter (I-153): The next version, the I-153 Chaika, reverted to the “gull wing” design but introduced a retractable landing gear, significantly improving performance.
