KFIR C-1
Country	Israel
Type	Multirole combat aircraft
Topic	Album of 44 photos walk-around of a « KFIR C-1 »

The Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir is an Israeli-built all-weather, multirole combat aircraft based on a modified French Dassault Mirage 5 airframe, with Israeli avionics and an Israeli-made version of the General Electric J79 turbojet engine. The project that would ultimately give birth to the Kfir can be traced back to Israel’s need for adapting the Dassault Mirage IIIC to the specific requirements of the Israeli Air Force (IAF). The all-weather, delta-winged Mirage IIICJ was the first Mach 2 aircraft acquired by Israel from then close ally France, and constituted the backbone of the IAF during most of the 1960s, until the arrival of the A-4 Skyhawk and, most importantly, the F-4 Phantom II, by the end of the decade. While the Mirage IIICJ proved to be extremely effective in the air-superiority role, its relatively short range of action imposed some limitations on its usefulness as a ground-attack aircraft.

During WWII under the terms of the Lend-Lease agreement, apart from thousands of the well-known ‘Studebakers’, a limited number of Diamond and White heavy ballast tractors appeared in the USSR. These trucks made a great impression on the Soviet military, because the ZIS-5 and GAZ-AA, which Soviet industry had been producing since the pre-war period, could not compare with the American vehicles, which were able to haul a trailer loaded even with heavy tanks. Immediately after the end of the war the Yaroslavl motor works, which had previously produced YAG-6 trucks in very small quantities, received an order to develop a new truck. So in 1947 appeared the YAZ-200, the first Soviet truck with a fourteen-cylinder diesel engine, and a year later, the YAZ-210 with a more powerful six-cylinder YAZ-206 diesel. These trucks began to figure in the inventory of the Soviet Army; however, the Army had need of a truck with much better characteristics, especially taking into consideration cross country ability…..

History:

Japan had already begun to develop the fly wing glider before the World War II. In order to reach the further demands of army, Kayaba had developed three type of fly wing glider successively. The blueprints of Kayaba “Katsuodori” fly wing were accomplished at the end of April, 1940 and the prototype was produced very soon. The airframe was metal skin. Its length, altitude and wingspan were 4.48m, 1.85m and 8.99m respectively. Although the product had made the transition from glider to power fly wing, its military number which provided by Japanese Army still denoted glider:”Ku-4”. The attitude of Japanese Army was disappointed by the Type 2 crash which happened at the Tachikawa airport in May 10th, 1941. The funds of Kayaba “Katsuodori” were hold back. Furthermore, the Pacific war was intensified to expand at the same time, most attention of Japanese Army was focused on the production of military planes. So the Japanese Army did not carry any longer about the development of fly wing techniques. At last, Kayaba “Katsuodori” became the experiment which invested by Kayaba Company itself. This kit is the type of ram-jet power according to the original designs. Its engine is copied from HeS001 Type A ram-jet engine of Germany. The armament is a pair of 30 mm cannon on the both sides of nose. And for a bomber, it is easy to carry Kayaba “Katsuodori” to increase the range.
