Čaj Polikarpov I-153 Chaika (ruski Čaйka, "Galeb") je bio kasnih 1930-ih sovjetski dvokrilni lovac. Razvijen kao napredna verzija I-15 sa uvlačivim podvozjem, I-153 se borio u sovjetsko-japanskim borbama u Mongoliji i bio je jedan od glavnih sovjetskih borbenih tipova u ranim godinama Drugog svetskog rata. Tri I-153 i dalje lete.

General Characteristics and Role
The Polikarpov I-153 Chaika (Russian for “Seagull”) was the final evolution in a line of highly maneuverable Soviet biplane fighters. It was developed in the late 1930s to combine the agility of its predecessor, the I-15, with increased speed and performance. Key features included a manually retractable landing gear to reduce drag, a gull-wing upper wing design (giving it the nickname Chaika), and improved armament. Although it was the fastest biplane ever to see operational service and performed well in early conflicts, it was rapidly made obsolete by the advent of faster monoplane fighters, such as those of the German Luftwaffe, by the time of the German invasion in 1941.
