  Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir - Scramble
Kfir C1 First flown in June 1973, the Kfir C1 (Kfir means "Young Lion") was basically the airframe of the Mirage III mated to the General Electric J79 afterburning turbojet and fitted with a suite of Israeli electronics.
Kfir C7 The Kfir C7, the final single-seat version introduced in 1983, is based on the Kfir C2 with a specially adapted version of the J79-GEJ1E with some 1,000 lb (454 kg) more afterburning thrust.

 IAI Kfir - Definition, explanation
The IAI Kfir (hebrew: כפיר;) is an Israeli-built military aircraft based on the French Mirage 5.
Following a French government embargo that prevented Dassault selling Israel the Mirages that they had already paid for, IAI produced an unlicenced copy of this aircraft as the IAI Nesher (possibly with the clandestine support of Dassault - see the article on the Nesher for details of these claims).
At the same time, IAI was planning a variant in which the Atar engine was to be replaced with an Israeli-built General Electric J79 engine, the same engine used on the American F-104 Starfighter and F-4 Phantom II fighters.

  IAI F-21 Kfir
The original Kfir prototype which first flew on October 19, 1970 was a combination of the Dassault Mirage III airframe with the GE-J79 afterburning turbojet of the F-4 Phantom II.
The IAI Kfir is one of the best known examples of the developmental approach to the design and construction of combat aircraft, which consists in the modernization of well-proven airframes to face the challenges posed by an increasingly sophisticated air-combat environment.
In 1983, IAI began to upgrade the Kfir C.2s/TC.2s to a new variant, the Kfir C.7/TC.7, which carried a modified version of the J79-GE-17E powerplant, with an additional 4.45 kN (1,000 lb st) of afterburning thrust, and an enhanced thrust-to-weight ratio.

The IAI Kfir is one of the best known examples of the developmental approach to the design and construction of combat aircraft, which consists in the modernization of well-proven airframes to face the challenges posed by an increasingly sophisticated air-combat environment.
The nose of the Kfir C.2 was also redesigned to allow for the placement of a new set of modern Israeli avionics, including the Elta EL/M 2001 or 2001B Pulse-doppler ranging radar, the Rafael MAHAT or IAI WDNS-141 weapon-delivery systems, twin computer flight control systems, multimode navigation systems, and a HUD.

 Kfir C.10
However, the IAI C.10 is the latest in the line of Kfir multi-role fighters developed by matching the J-79 engine with the aiframe of the Dassault Mirage 5, and is also known the Kfir 2000, or the CE, the latter designation being applied to the fighters in service with Ecuador.
The Kfir C.10 is actually an upgrade package based on advanced technologies, which can significantly improve the capabilities of the veneralbe delta-wing design, and turn it into a true multi-role fighter.
On the outside of the Kfir C.10, not much has changed compared to the older C.7 design: main characteristics remained the same, and the first important difference is the addition of the larger nose and an in-flight-refuelling (IFR) probe.
