Clarify your narration on old airframes? Kfir was a new build not a Mirage airframe. A lot of very significant changes were required.Some food for thought promo of final variant of Kfir, proving versatility of the Mirage concept. These are old airframes but with almost new engines.
I hope eventually we can spare a unit for modification and testbed as a unmanned delivery platform.
The Kfir is a aircraft based on Mirage 5 with Israeli avionics and GE J79 engine . Talking about Kfir Block-60, these are upgraded airframes from storage, not new builds.Clarify your narration on old airframes? Kfir was a new build not a Mirage airframe.

Friend, that is an incorrect statement - Just under 40% is based off original Nesher; Nesher was based off Mirage 5. When Kfir came into flight, there was a huge amount of re-design; major rework required for new flight control systems, airframe alloys etc.The Kfir is a aircraft based on Mirage 5 with Israeli avionics and GE J79 engine .

.Two air forces eyeing Block 60 Kfirs, says IAI
Israel Aerospace Industries is in "very advanced negotiations" with at least two air forces that want to purchase the company's upgraded Kfir fighter in its Block 60 configuration.www.flightglobal.com
"
The Kfir Block 60 is the latest upgrade for the Israeli-made fighter, which has been flying now for 40 years. The variant is offered with a General Electric-designed J79 engine with zero hours after a total overhaul, and will need another one after 1,600 flight hours.
Elta Systems will supply its EL/M-2032 active electronically scanned array radar, with open architecture avionics to allow a customer to install other systems.
According to Elta, the new sensor will provide an all-aspect, look-down/shoot-down performance in air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, with the capability to simultaneously track up to 64 targets.
All of the ex-Israeli air force Kfirs that have been stored at one of the service's desert bases for several years are to be transferred to an IAI upgrade facility. "This line will be busy in the coming years," the IAI source says."
