IAI Lavi
Lavi (Young Lion)

This is the second Lavi (B-2) built. It first flew on 30 March 1987. The Lavi was designed in the 1980s as a multi-role, state-of-the-art fighter. It would have been IAI's first fighter that was planned and manufactured from scratch. Unfortunately, the Lavi program was canceled on 30 August 1987.

The Lavi was intended primarily for use in close air support and battlefield air interdiction roles with a secondary air-defence mission. It faced major opposition from the U.S. Government because of competition with the F/A-18C/D.
