In this version, the original ShKAS machine gun was replaced by 4 12.7mm (0.5 inch) BS machine guns.

I 153DM

As an experiment, a gasoline-powered ramjet engine was installed under the wing of I- 153DM. The DM-2 engine increased the top speed by 30 kilometers per hour, while the more powerful DM-4 engine increased the speed by 50 kilometers per hour. * * * 74 I- 153 received this modification.

I 153GK (I 153V)

It is expected that the high-altitude version with the pressurized cockpit has not yet been produced.

I 153P

The original coaxial machine gun was converted into two ShVAK guns, and the increased weight was offset by the increased firepower. However, the gunpowder storm during shooting seriously affected the line of sight of the windshield, which was not a successful design.

The rear fuselage is made of wood instead of the traditional steel pipe skeleton skin design to save metal, but it has not been mass-produced.

I- 153 navy type

The Soviet navy modified 50 I- 153 aircraft, equipped with larger fuel tanks and wings capable of mounting auxiliary fuel tanks, and the operational scope was greatly increased.

I 190

The final version of I- 153 made in 1940 modified the shortcomings of I- 153 and replaced it with an M-88V engine with an output of 1 100 horsepower. The maximum speed was increased to 488 km/h, but due to the outdated design concept, there was no mass production.
