Kfir Block 60 : Upgraded version of the C.10, The main feature of this variant is the use of AESA radar, proposed to the Bulgarian Air Force and Colombian Air Force. As of January 2014 Argentina is reported to be interested in a US$500m deal for eighteen Block 60 to replace its planned acquisition of second-hand Mirage F1M from Spain
Industry sources claim IAI will "soon" receive an order for the Argentine Air Force for Kfir Block 60s

As the latest upgrade of the Israeli-made fighter, the new configuration involves giving the General Electric J79-powered aircraft a total overhaul, and re-equipping it with an Elta Systems EL/M-2032 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and an open architecture avionics suite

It has a pretty high crash rate. Electronics is probably the only appeal

just cost 4.5 million per jet

• I think the thread title should be "IAI Kfir a threat to......."

We are not the only ones who use the scenes from top gun

Isn't Kfir a souped up Mirage III?

EL/M-2032 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar

No it's not. It's 2052.

this purchase is a threat to the Falklands.

UK will surely have to add more assets over there now.

I don't think Kfir has range to reach Falklands. It is a Mirage III. Look, penguins at Falklands

Man IAI should team up with a partner for a new airframe.

Impossible. It cannot even take a turbofan engine.

I meant a platform, Like the F16 or even a textron scorpion...

The US won't allow it because it would lose export profit.

 

[SecularNationalist]

It,s a mirage 3 with inferiorty complex which is cheap as peanuts and hence every poor airforce can afford it.Don,t even compare it with JF-17.

IAI Kfir is close to the same range as it previous fighter it used during the Falklands the Super Étendard, and this is with two 1,300 liter drop tanks.

I wouldn't expect any of Argentina planes to be doing bombing runs on the Falklands, but attacking maritime attacks with exocets or w/e anti ship missiles they got or get.

this is why argnetina really wanted to get a dozen or so Su-24 fighter-bombers for the increased range.

they defiantly do need some tanker aircraft
