Aircraft History
Built by Polikarpov. Assigned to the Soviet Air Force / Voyenno-Vozdushnye Sily (VSS) or Mongolian People's Army Air Force.

Wreckage
This aircraft is displayed outside the Sumber Museum (Khalkhin Gol Museum). During the 1990s (exact date unknown) the aluminium skin was removed by Chinese scrappers that were briefly allowed to scrap the battlefield area. Today, all that remains is the fusealge frame stripped of all metal parts, no wings, tail or engine.
