Not exactly a "modern" fighter. It has been around since the 1970s and is based on the Mirage III.

Also, you somehow failed to mention that the USSR armed the Arabs to the teeth, and up until the mid 70s the equipment the Arabs had was superior to what the Israelis had especially in terms of AA, AT and tanks with night vision capabilities, and that's before talking about the advantages they had in quantity.

@@E_y_a_l - That's great. But it doesn't change the facts I stated. Since then (for 40 or 50 years), the U.S. has been literally giving Israel everything (Military Equipment), intellectual property, trade secrets, patents, technology, etc. for free. Such that Israel (more than a decade ago), had the 9th Largest Air Force in the world (and it's probably still 7th to 9th in size). But I don't care about all that. I care about how Israel has used those weapons (whether from America, or France/Britain or elsewhere) and where the vast majority of victims were innocent men, women, and children. Why did America place an embargo on Israel? Why did Israel preemptively initiate the Six Days War, having never been attacked? Why did Israel attack the U.S.S. Liberty U.S. Navy ship and try to sink her, killing and injuring almost 200 American sailors? Why has Israel continually violated her U.N. Charter, and all subsequent treaties, which dictate the policies of Israel's recognition as a sovereign nation into the U.N. and the world community? Why has Israel committed a 50+ year genocide in the middle east and committed all kinds of heinous crimes and atrocities against it's neighbors? Why did Israel attack America on 9/11, killing 3000 Americans (and being fully and [nearly] totally responsible for millions more deaths)? Why has Israel (our supposed ally), been the single nation on earth, that conducts more espionage and crimes against the United States and the American people, than any other (including Russia and China)? Why are Zionists (and Jews) in Israel, Europe, and America, trying to eviscerate our national sovereignty, subvert our democratic process and Constitutional Republic, and reduce or eliminate our Constitutional (Human) Rights? These are the things I care about. My family is Jewish. But that doesn't mean I want, or will allow, other tyrannical or treasonous Jews (or foreign nations), to negatively and criminally affect my life. It doesn't mean I can't and/or shouldn't criticize Israel or other Jews, because they are doing these things. Many Jews in America are foolish and treasonous. They don't understand that your first loyalty and priority has to be to your nation (and not your religion or your tribe). Without a sovereign nation, and a government that protects the citizens and their rights, you cannot have Freedom of Religion (i.e the freedom to worship in the religion of your choice or upbringing). This was "presumably" the reason that Israel was created. But Jews throughout history never learned this lesson, and thus they were evicted from nations hundreds of times over an almost 1400 year period (because they were treasonous and committed crimes against the nations that took them in). - Because they (and I'm generalizing of course) were criminals who foolishly protected criminals of their own ilk. The only savior and reason Israel exists, was the Rothschild family. But they condemned millions of Jews to death (and suffering) in order to establish the nation of Israel. My Great Grandmother suffered in Auschwitz and barely survived, not because of Hitler and the Nazis, but because the Rothschild Family, wanted to enforce/enact their will (and seek revenge) over Germany/ Prussia/ Bavaria/ Poland /Europe/ America. It was a plan to show and enforce (in essence) the superior intellect of Jews (or more correctly - the Rothschild Family who could care less about ordinary Jews and sentenced millions of them to death), over those nations and governments who dare challenge their power and control. There was no "Holocaust". This was yet another eviction (this time intended to be a permanent banishment from Germany and Europe (especially Western Europe). There is substantial evidence that Hitler was looking a places like Madagascar as relocation sites for the Jews. And 6 Million Jews never died at the hands of the Nazis. The actual number was roughly 330,000 to 640,000 (maximum). And the vast majority of those died from Typhus and other diseases, with the 2nd leading cause of death being malnutrition/starvation. The vast majority of Jews that died in the 20th Century from unnatural causes, died as a result of the Rothschild imposed and financed Bolshevik Revolution and subsequent U.S.S.R.; especially during the Russian Famine of 1921 (Povolzhye famine) and the Ukrainian Holodomor, but also at the hands of the U.S.S.R. government (comprised of up to 70% Jews at that time). Arguably the 2nd or 3rd leading cause of death, was the wars themselves (started by the Rothschild Family and their allies): In both WWI and WWII millions of Jews died fighting as soldiers for their respective nations (almost a million Jews served in the U.S. Military during WWII alone). People don't know these facts. And thus they never consider these facts. They are no students of history. They are ignorant fools in general (whether they be American, European, or Israeli or Jewish in some other country) who don't have the time or inclination to study history to get to the truth and the facts. And so we will either educate ourselves, or we will gradually become slaves as we march toward the "New World Order". There is nothing glamorous or great about war, or the subjugation of human beings (no matter who they are), or weaponry. Once you experience it first hand you will learn this. Once you become a victim of other Jews, you will learn what is important and what really matters. All men are born as sovereign individuals. All religion was an invention of man to control other men (humanity), and extract wealth from them. It is only when you realize this, that you can appreciate a nation like the United States, - the only nation in history founded upon the principles of this, and of the rights of individuals. We are the literally the last bastion. If the United States falls, so does freedom and liberty in the entire world. The only real Jews in history were Sephardi. The vast majority of Jews in Israel now, and in the world, are AshkeNAZI (including my family). And they have allowed themselves and their financial condition, to be dominated by the false doctrine of Zionism.

It goes out to perform maneuvers and lands every evening at about 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. It it fun to watch fly over my work. It is easily identifiable by it's exhaust sound. We also have other aircraft that fly almost every day. We have Vintage British Hawker Hunters that fly the same flightpath almost everyday. I'm not sure, but I think that the IAI KFIR and the Hawker Hunters are used to simulate enemy aircraft. I think they may fly out over the Pacific Ocean and perform exercises with Naval Vessels?

Since it had seen very little use, it wasn't "updated", so to say, since it's first production and it little match to modern aircraft. Reason for it having such little use is that the US conditioned the delivery of F16s to Israel by Israel ceasing any non US-made jet usage or development. That is also why the "Bark", that many predicted to be superior to both F16 and F15, never made it past prototype phase.

Now you probably mean the Lavi not the Bark ( ? ), the Lavy was suppose to be a great little fighter , but dew to US pressure and new F16 models was canceled back in the late 80's , two of them made it to a flying planes . all the best to you !

But with enormous internal upgrades with systems from the sadly cancelled Israeli aircraft, the "LAVI"

Actually its the Mirage 5, specially built by France for Israel, but they did'nt deliver it to Israel for fear of backlash from arab nations. So they did'nt build it but somehow, crates secretly arrive in Israel from the US. Months later, Israel announces they have built their own fighter jets, and call it this Kfir C1. But France never built a Mirage 5, so they said then in the 80s, Mirage 2000 roll out.

The aircraft is good similar to the US F-4 Phantom the avionics isnt that upgraded. This plane is actually a failure which the IAF rejects. I appreciate the the Israeli armed forces being the not just small nation they stood and made things happen. They didn't divide they have united and worked together. I HAIL THEM FOR THERE COURAGE

Although this is the "son of Mirage", based on the Mirage platform plans stolen from the Swiss (the french refused to sell Mirages to Israel even after having paid for them), I read the flight envelope is very similar to the MIG21, a very able and maneuverable, if aged, fighter.

Quietest-sounding J79 ever heard! And are they sure that it's safe to pull yourself up onto the wing using the canard (strake?) like that? Seems like it shouldn't be too strong a part; it doesn't actually support any load, I gather, just creates vortexes over the wings. I wouldn't put so much weight on it unless I was sure (and maybe he is); the thing might end up being damaged, and break off in mid-flight sometime.

@William Walker Those were exactly my first impressions. As a rookie in IAF technical training I had to wipe clean a Kfir with jet fuel and rags. Those canards can't be flexed at all, and quite sharp.

Amazing how antiquated 1975 can look!

the mirror main cover why itwas a little bit open befor take off and after landing. . .

I wonder what is Dassault Aviation's opinion about that Kfir aircraft.

Hello David, they used the A-4 Skyhawk and the F-5 Freedom Fighter as aggressor aircraft simulating MiGs. The real TOPGUN did indeed utilize the A-4 and borrowed T-38 Talon aircraft from the U.S. Air Force (the T-38 is a non-armed training variant of the F-5) as aggressor aircraft.

It looks like a 1950s/1960s era jet. Very interesting. Did he fly with the wheels down the entire time? Interesting also, because it looks like it has forward/front canards.

1970s vintage, basically a mirage 5 with an American engine. The isreali's worked with France to design the mirage 5, then the french took their money and refused to supply aircraft, (much the same thing they did with Australia regarding submarines recently) so the isrealis took the design, altered it to accept American engines, improved it a bit and put it in production as the KFIR. In the 1980s U.S. Naval aviation leased A dozen KFIR from Israel as aggressor training aircraft and they were designated F-21 in U.S. service and flown by the marine corps.

Since the J79 turbojet engine is an U.S. design, although manufactured under license in Israel, all export sales of the Kfir are subject to prior approval being granted by the U.S. State Department, a fact that has limited the sale of the Kfir to foreign nations.

Im confused on its side markings. Its registered as American aircraft?

+Faisal Rafique - based on Mirage III; Israel had ordered several from France and all of a sudden, DeGaule refused to ship even though they were paid for. Israel intelligence stold the plans from a Swiss contractor from Dassault, and the Kfir was born. It is old but a workhorse, with similar flight characteristics to the MIG21.

+pepe cohetes Actually the French sold Israel the plans when Israel produced the Nesher, both of which were based on the Mirage 5 which was co-developed with IAI. The embargo was in place an the Mirage 5's were never delivered but it was more of under the table deal that allowed France to save face than a spy novel.

It is Mirage 3 with canard wings to improve handling and manoeuvrability. It is sensible and economic to take existing proven airframe and make it better. I a sure avionics have also been polished upwards. Considering operational area this is purpose designed for Israeli requirements.

I believe they could easily build a 5th or 6th gen jet

es por el diseño amigo, el Kfir no es un caza multirol y tampoco de superioridad aerea, es un caza de interdiccion y bombardeo para lo que el diseño delta canard es lo mejor! si quieres ver un Kfir haciendo lo mejor que sabe hacer hay un video de la fuerza aerea Colombiana en una mision de interdiccion de invasores rusos, los Kfir alcanzaron un Tupolev Ruso y lo amenazaron con los dispositivos de guerra electronica, en la variante Block60 es todavia un caza capaz y decente, muchisimo mejor que los Mirage5 o F5 Tigre que aun operan en latinoamerica algunos paises
