Part of the Maywright war aircraft grade 1 — bundle 1, a series of aircraft reminiscent of the time between WWI and WWII. Detailed specifications in the comments. This airplane was inspired by the real life fighter biplane I-15.
The Potezna Aerodyna 3 ("powerful aerodyne 3") was Zwartania's fighter during it's quick expansion period.
Although it was unable to get on the tail of enemy fighters due to its mediocre climb and turn rates, it was extremely fast for its time, which allowed it to escape any unfavorable situation and try later. When it did have an altitude and/or postition advantage though, enemy aircraft were doomed.
This helped the Zwartanian airforce slowly chip away at its enemies' airforces with nearly 0 losses on it side.
