The aircraft was commissioned by the Soviet Union and was used by the Soviet Air Force, as well as exported to Spain and China. This machine played a significant role during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), where it was used to support Republican forces. The I-15 was also used during the Soviet-Japanese border conflicts and in the early stages of World War II.
