It is true Phil, I did not remember this, the IAI Kfir plays the Aggressor role together with F5N!

Interesting to read that the British variant's had Rolls Royce turbofan engine's
Gunny,
The US Navy had a 3 year contract with IAS(Israeli Aircraft Services) IAS came over with their personnel(our supervisors and managers) and also instructors to teach us in whatever field we specialized in. I was Avionics, So it covered the radios, navigational ,IFF and the fighter control radar. All the avionics was from the A4M Skyhawk, so a piece of cake for me. The Radar was an Israeli design. We were like Roberto mentioned in the Marine Adversary Program, So our pilots(Marines) flew Russian tactics and we would have squadrons from around the US and some from across the pond come here to dog fight us. . I'll just mention WE NEVER LOST!!!!
The Kfir's were there from 87-89 then we got the F5's. VMFT 401 is still an active squadron here.
Semper Fi
Phil
Cheers for the information Phil, top man!.....
