Historical Information

The IAI Kfir is a multirole fighter produced by Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI), which entered service with the Israeli Air Force in the mid-1970s. The aircraft was based on the French Mirage 5 design and was adapted to Israeli needs by installing a more powerful General Electric J79 engine. The Kfir C2 was used from 1976 during the Cold War, serving as Israel's primary fighter. The Kfir C7 represented its modernized version, introduced at the end of the 1970s, featuring improved avionics and the ability to carry a wider range of armaments. Outside Israel, Kfir aircraft were also delivered to countries such as Colombia, Sri Lanka, and Ecuador.
