Origins

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 Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and, most importantly, the McDonnell Douglas 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.

Thus, in the mid-1960s, at the request of Israel, Dassault Aviation began developing the Mirage 5, a fair-weather, ground-attack version of the Mirage III. Following the suggestions made by the Israelis, advanced avionics located behind the cockpit were removed, allowing the aircraft to increase its fuel-carrying capacity while reducing maintenance costs.

By 1968, Dassault had finished production of the 50 Mirage 5Js paid for by Israel, but an arms embargo imposed upon Israel by the French government in 1967 prevented deliveries from taking place. The Israelis replied by producing an unlicensed copy of the Mirage 5, the Nesher, with technical specifications for both the airframe and the engine obtained by Israeli spies.[1]

    @MIAW26PERSIAN You tested the plane, you made it, how can't you notice the autoroll ? Even if you can't use blueprints, you can still look at pictures of the plane, I'm pretty sure you did but honestly I couldn't recognize the plane without the title. Well at least you know that your planes flys bad, but now you'll have to make them fly good. And for the canards you could have just checked on google, in two minutes you have an answer. I'm not saying that you're bad, you're actually pretty good, even if the plane does not really look like hte original one, you made a good looking plane with less than 200 parts. (I'm not trying to be rude, I just want to help with my stupid english and poor vocabulary :) )

    I'm not quit sure that you can ask for upvotes even is this way.

    Landinggear is kinda broken.
    Also there's a lot of auto roll and the general shape isn't the one of a Kfir, the plane flys bad and I think that the canards shouldn't move (just like the ones on the Mirage 2000).

    You have to have more points than said user to spotlight them. MIAW is 10K and you are 7K, hence why the button is not there.
