History

The E-153 project represents the first (of two known) attempts by aircraft designer Oleg Antonov to create fighter aircraft. With an initiative proposal to create a fighter, Oleg K. Antonov turned to the USSR Ministry of Aviation Industry at the beginning of 1947, in response, where he received the approval of M.V. Khrunichev.[5][6]
