IAI NESHER SINGLE/DOUBLE SEAT COMBO (2IN1)

The IAI Nesher (Hebrew eagle) is an Israeli single-seat, full-metal, delta-wing, single-engine fighter that is essentially a modernization of the French Mirage IIIC. The flight of the prototype took place in 1971, and the entry to the linear units one year later. The modernization resulted from the necessity to replenish the losses suffered by Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967 and the adaptation of the Mirage IIIC aircraft to the function of a fighter aircraft capable of fighting in the Middle East. The general outline of the IAI's structure was familiar to me, because it had previously been able to familiarize itself with the Mirage 5 machines imported from France. The design details, however, were most likely stolen by Mossad spies, although the secret cooperation of the French side, which officially imposed an embargo on arms exports to the Jewish state, cannot be ruled out. Nesher was made in the number of 61 copies, it was also exported to Argentina. Technical data: length: 14.75m, wingspan: 8.22m, height: 4.25m, maximum speed: 2.1Ma, maximum range: 1400km, maximum ceiling 17600m, equipment: suspended - up to 4200 kg of cargo.
