This vintage warbird, hailing from the 1930s, is a testament to the engineering prowess and resilience of the Soviet Union's military aviation during the pre-World War II era. The Polikarpov I-180-3, also known as the Rata, Ishak, Mosca, or SIIP-IORAVA, was a monoplane fighter designed by Nikolai Polikarpov. This agile and versatile aircraft was equipped with a 575 horsepower M-25 engine, enabling it to reach impressive speeds of up to 315 km/h (196 mph). Its sleek, aerodynamic design and advanced features made it a formidable opponent in the skies. As the title suggests, this photograph captures the I-180-3 in its element, showcasing its undercarriage fitted with snow and ice skis.

The metal surfaces are adorned with various markings and insignia, adding to its historical significance. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich aviation history of the Soviet Union and its commitment to military innovation during the interwar period. In conclusion, this image of the Polikarpov I-180-3 parked on snow and ice skis is a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the Soviet Union's military aviation prowess and adaptability in the face of challenging environmental conditions.
