[QUOTE="1st Vette, post: 336719, member: 8909"] Kfir was developed because of the embargo imposed by France after Israel bombed Lebanon in 1968, shortly after the Six-Day War. Unable to acquire new fighter jets, the country commissioned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to develop a fighter based on the Mirage 5, and from there the [B]Nesher [/B]aircraft emerged, whose main differences were the Israeli avionics and Martin-Baker ejection seats. Then the IAI proposed the Kfir, a fighter with greater power thanks to the replacement of the French Atar engine by the GE J79, used by the F-4 Phantom. The Israeli fighter was also equipped with canards to improve its maneuverability in addition to having new avionics and increased armament capacity. The first Kfir flew in June 1973 and entered service in 1976 with the Israeli Air Force. [/QUOTE]
