History and Use of the Shafrir-1 Missile

The Shafrir-1 is an Israeli air-to-air missile, designed and manufactured in the 1960s by the national defense industry. It was the first missile of this type developed locally, aiming to make the Israeli Air Force independent from foreign suppliers. Shafrir-1 was equipped on aircraft such as the Mirage III and Nesher, taking part in combat operations during the Six-Day War and conflicts in the Middle East during the Cold War era. It was mainly used by Israel from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, until it was replaced by its newer version—the Shafrir-2.
