IAI Kfir lineup
The Kfir was a multi-role fighter that entered service
in 1976. It got its first chance to prove its mettle on 9 November 1977.
Kfirs were sent to attack Tel Azia, a terrorist training base in Lebanon,
and carried out their task with great success.
|
The Kfir was Israel's answer to the French embargo on the sale of arms
to Israel after the Six Day War. Dassault had developed the Mirage V in
accordance with Israeli specifications but shopped delivery, leaving Israel
with no choice but to develop her own fighter. |
