The I-3 was the first of three linked fighter prototype programmes of the Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau in the mid and late 1950s, followed by the I-7 and the I-75, with airframes rebuilt and reused across them. The Council of Ministers ordered the I-3 as a frontline fighter and the I-3P as an all-weather interceptor on 3 June 1953. The I-3 had a longer forward fuselage than the I-1, a 60 degree swept wing and three 30 mm cannon, and it never received its intended Klimov VK-3 engine. It was converted in 1956 into the I-3U, with a stretched fuselage and the Uragan-1 fire control system, and after 34 test flights the programme was cancelled on 17 June 1958.
