First 2 F16I "Sufa"("storm") Fighters/Bombers arrived at an IAF airbase today. The F16I features a new engine, better avionics, new EW systems, better range, and other improvements over the F16 A/B/C/D serving with the IAF.

Here is a page about it!

Looks pretty slick, that F-16 is sure one old dog for learning new tricks, isn't it? (clever turn of phrase there, huh? )

Don't you lads go off and pick on those poor Iranians now.

Cool...

Where can I buy one of those?
How many MilBucks does it cost...

Nice stuff, you guys develop those entirly in house?

It is an old dog, but it learns well!
The Electronics and EW are mostly Israeli developed i think, while the fuselagh and engine are USA.

Not that its news , but intresting-
The New IAF fighters are all named after the weather-

F16 C/D: "Barak"-Lightning.
F15I: "Ra'am"-Thunder.
F16I: "Sufa"-Storm.

Cloudy with a 100% chance of rain over Tehran

Actually the rain isent your problem, its the Lightning bolts....
