Historical Description and Use

The Kfir (Hebrew for "Lion Cub") is an Israeli fighter jet based on the French Dassault Mirage 5 design, adapted by Israel Aerospace Industries. The C2 version entered service in the mid-1970s, while the upgraded C7, equipped with more powerful engines, avionics, and larger payload, appeared at the end of the 1980s. KFIRs took active part in Israeli Air Force operations during Middle Eastern conflicts in the Cold War era and were exported to countries including Ecuador, Colombia, and Sri Lanka, where they were used until the 21st century.
