I wonder why the IAF hve discarded their own Kfir long ago and bought expensive F16 in the US?

Israel isn’t really paying for the F-16’s. They funds come annual U.S. military aid totaling in the billions.

I’d be more concerned about the security perspective…

XP is a pin-cushion for security vulnerabilities. After April, the zero-days will blast out of the woodwork.

There are a lot of questions around the answer here. What is the serviceability rate of the F-16s and the Su-30s? Do the Kfirs offer a level of operation that is conducive to mounting a successful campaign? How good are the pilots in each AF? If it were to come down to the aircraft alone, the AMV should come out ahead. There are just more fighter-bombers to put up against the kfirs. That is not to say a kfir is not capable of taking a down an F-16 or an Su-30, but it depends on the pilot and the classic who sees who first. Super Tucano vs. K-8 has my money on the Super Tucanos.

It might not be a work station used for actual work, but a presentation system.

Perhaps. It looks like a work station and it is running a CAD program, so it must be used for some dev. purpose.

Glad they didnt stick with that blue angels looking theme

Me too. That scheme was hideous.

Same here. No access from the U.S.A.

Are we sure the F/A-18E/F cannot drop a nuke? What else would the USN use to deliver it’s cache of nukes on board each carrier?

Likewise. Happy Holidays!
