Product description

The fighter aircraft model F16I Fighting Falcon Sufa 455, 119 Squadron "The Bat" has high-quality and detailed processing based on a real model. The package includes a stand and landing accessories.

The F-16I, nicknamed "Sufa" or storm, is a redesigned and customized version of the F-16, adapted to Israeli Air Force (IAF) specifications. The F-16I is different from all other F-16s, including US Air Force aircraft. A celebration of its unveiling on the Lockheed Martin assembly line took place on November 14, 2003. Israel has ordered 102 fighters and the first shipment is expected to arrive in Israel by February 2004. The acquisition is Israel's largest acquisition from Lockheed Martin and it is expected that the number of F- 16 will bring the IAF to 362, second only to the United States Air Force. Israel also has a strong relationship with the American company Lockheed Martin. According to John Bean, Lockheed Martin vice president of F-16 programs, "This program illustrates the strong bond between Lockheed Martin and Israel; we hope to strengthen that relationship through our continued commitment to this program." The development of the F-16I involved extensive collaboration between the US and Israeli defense industries.
