  • 20 years after, France began to develop the Rafale fighter who is very similar to Lavi. Awesome...See in youtube "Rafale"

  • Beautiful!!China have it.......

  • @silvacore :)

  • scrapped at the order of the Reagan admin, because it woulda been the F-16s main competitor.

  • And now the Chinese have it as their main air superiority fighter

  • Aww i liked that airplane so much when i was younger and when i was interested in aviation... I tought that airplane is the most dangerous fighter in the world :) Don't laugh, i was a kid!! :D

  • @bsbssb1 ;)

  • @sufa256

    Hoo.. Are you really pilot? What kind of airplane you fly?

  • @bsbssb1 F16. Can say more than that.

  • @sufa256

    You mean can't :)

    I understand... Have a really good luck man :)

  • @sufa256 At least don't call it an F16 , if it's a SUFA , then it's a league of it's own !

  • Comment removed

  • @bsbssb1 maybe you were right ;)

  • @djomercohen

    חח אין מצב.. :)

  • @bsbssb1 it could make sharper turns, carry heavier bombs, was more advanced technologically and was cheaper to manufacture.

    if the F-16 was considered back than as the best bomber fighter jet in the world than the Lavi took its place.

  • @bsbssb1 you know that the lavi was in the testing fase just as powerfull as the f-16 in 2005 were and the testing fase was in 1986. so the plane was about 20 years ahead of the game, unfortunately the americans decided to stop funding the development because they were afraid israel wouldnt buy any more planes from america when the lavi was done.

  • God bless Israel and brave soldiers! Col hacovod le Zahal!!!

  • @idf1997 Thank you!

  • The Lavi actually lives on, in the form of the J-10. Documentation was sold to China in the 1980s.

  • God bless you!!

  • @IsraelShine You too!

  • למה לא יצרו בסוף את הלביא???

  • @NOYKIRSHNER

    .חוסר תקציב, סירוב אמריקאי למימון, חיל האוויר הזמין 75 מטוסים במקום 150

  • @sufa256 שכחת להגיד שבגלל שהלוי בסופו יגתלה כמטוס עם אותם יכולות של ה אף 16 בזמנו ואפילו יותר טובות ואפילו היה יותר זול וסיכן מאוד את תוכנית האף 16 של האמריקאים למכירה למדינות זרות.. :D

  • @davidds0

    .אמת

  • @davidds0 הוא יכל לבצע פניות יותר חדות, לסחוב פצצות יותר כבדות, היה זול יותר לייצור ועם טכנולוגיה ישראלית סופר מתקדמת

  • @NOYKIRSHNER מה זה משנה ???

  • @51shema

    זה יכל להיות מטוס טוב!!

  • nice jet. F16 with delta wing and canards...Too bad its abandoned...

  • This is a great song , Is it Israeli ?

  • @johnnysouthbound No, it's Hans Zimmer - The Rock - Navy Seals theme.

  • THIS PROJECT OF THE ISRAELI MILITARY WAS STOPPED DO TO MOUNTING PRESSURE FROM THE US GOVERNMENT,

    THE US GOVERNMENT DID NOT WANT ISRAEL TO MANUFACTURE JET FIGHTERS,

    THIS JET WAS MADE IN ISRAEL IN THE EARLY 1980TH,

    THIS JET CAN OUT PERFORM THE F-16 ON MANY FRONTS

    SO WHEN PEOPLE WONDER WHY DOSE ISRAEL BUY JET FIGHTERS FROM THE USA, IS BECAUSE OF US POLICY,

    OTHERWISE ISRAEL WOULD BE THE TOP COMPETITOR TO US ARMS SALES

  • @MadMax82043 yes correct. it is possible that it would have been sold to india for example, who instead bought a russian fifth generation stealth aircraft. a very large, many billions of dollars contract at that.

    there was much power politics in the cancellation of this aircraft.

    incidentally the front canards copied (used for simulated stalls and other manouveres) onto european typhoon 20 years latter.

  • @truecinnamon I agree

  • When will the Arabs be normal , I went to visit Syria, overall the people are nice in Syria . The only thing is that the government of Syria is not acting in a responsible way . I also visited Israel and I like that country so much , The Jew's are very kind people . I think that Syria's leaders should go visit Mr Natanyahu and appoligize face to face with no expectations . Why should Israel always live under the treat of war , this is not fair ! The Jew's deserve loving neighbours !!!

  • @johnnysouthbound You right!!

  • @johnnysouthbound truth man

  • @johnnysouthbound

    you are 100% right

    i am an israeli

  • I think the jew is very smart and he is kind as well , I don't understand why anyone would want to harm them ?

  • This looks like a J-10/F-16 hybrid to bad it was cancelled

  • @Elfulcrum777 True.

  • @Elfulcrum777 I don't know why it was cancelled !

  • @johnnysouthbound I think it was because they thought at the time that it would be a better investment to simply upgrade the F-15 and F-16 already in the air force in some ways they were right but with the success of the Kfir C2 this plane would have been just as successful i think

  • This plane reminds me of the euro Typhoon

  • @niks1 - and 10 years ahead of time.

    Israeli Innovation, it would have been the best 4.5 gen fighter at it's time.

  • Im so pissed they canceled this thing. It was apparently superior to the F16, could carry heavier payload, tighter turning etc. Just imagine what this thing could have evolved into over 20 or so years (like the merkava), probably would kick everythings arse out of the sky now, probably be stealth as well. I think theyre paying for it now too with all this F35 drama.

  • @niks1 True.

  • It's pretty much a highly modified F-16 but I think it looks way better.

  • its F-16 with redisgned wings...

  • @geofx09 This was a joint project between Israel and the US. Israel later cooperated with China giving birth to China's J10. If you compare the two you will notice the similarities. Experts say both J10 and F16 compare similarly.

  • peace on earth to men with good will

  • @infinity2012shelter

    SHALON....

  • @KAIROA beraxot

  • ישראל שולטת (israel cool) אני ישראלי גאה!!

  • same as f-16

  • it looks something like the f16

  • @sufa256 this aircraft came out before the f16 right?

  • @strongmanpremanand not really . the Lavi  took off to the air for the first time on 1987 the F-16 in 1974

  • j-10 chino.

    

  • @edgarmicky

    china copied this plane...

    becoz chineses gooks got no balls to have their own tech.

  • @WhitePigFuckAllah jajajaja that is known 

  • the project was stoped becouse of the f16.

    the lavi was abit better than f16 but it has almost same attacking power. usa sold them at half price to Israel, and israel cancled the project.

    also USA has threaten israel "if you not stop the project we stop our support"

    they scare of competition in this area

    Israel spent bilions on this project and just few years ago it was sold to china.

    what Israel a little point on the world map did in 197x china wasnt able to built even in 20xx

    RESPECT GUYS!

  • @Geohan1988 You right!

    Thanks!

  • Too bad the project was canceled. If I'm not wrong China build J-10 which looks almost same with Lavi :)

  • @israeldefender True!!

  • A remarcable aircraft that proves the skill of Israel to impove basic designs to fit their needs,too bad it never entered service

  • @sevteo True!

  • זה המדינה הכי טובה והכי חזקה שיש בעולם מכלום נהיינו מדינה חזקה יום יבוא וכל השונאים שלנו ימותו

  • Cool video man!

    I just started studying as a IAI Student, too sad i won't work with such an awesome plane..

    I will work with a Phantom tho :D

  • @SAmOrMP Thanks!

  • lavi is f16 in american editon

  • @kingsulltan no it isnt

  • IAI is the best

    thank you for IAI Phalcon from Chile

  • @jslc86 Our pleasure man.

  • I didn't know the SEALs had a theme.

  • the Eurofighter has a similar build structure.

  • @djomercohen True.

  • as a solider in the israeli air force i can tell it could be a dream to work on such a fantastic plane so sad its price has reached too high and was unable to afford i think it got to 22 billions dollar. tho im sure one day it will be re activate

  • @barile2001 You right.

  • @barile2001 Israel should buy j-10 from china,beef it up...and there you go.it wouldn't be lavi as planed(lol) but lion would be back to his den.people of Israel dancing on the streets celebrating return of the national pride.American experts scratching their heads.now what do you think of that?

  • @kordicb You can't do that because then Israel won't be getting the F35

  • @johnnysouthbound yea I know..,,just making fun out off all that "mess".Israel shouldn't buy f35.they'll get war again and arms embargo.remember what happened whit mirages?start your own program and be Independent.that way USA won't force you anymore with; buy this, buy that.who knows what may happen tomorrow?usa might get broke even more.cutting off raptors was right decision to save some money.f15 is still best out there with all that new upgrades.stealth cost money.fuck stealth

  • @johnnysouthbound

    Israel will get F35 in 2012-2014

    or it was F22..

    But we will.

  • @xEden1 This is good news for Israel , Do you know what Syria will do to try to keep up ? Last that I have heard they are flying 1950's MIg-21, I mean what do they expect to gain with this aircraft ? that is mostly seen in museums???

    Well I would like to see another 1982 style air war , when Israel will get the F22 , It would be funny to see what will happen to the mig-21's ?

  • @johnnysouthbound

    I heard that syria getting MIG-29.Or it was Egypt..

    But yeah agree with you..if the F22 fight against the Mig-21 that would be 1982 or even worse lol.

  • @xEden1 Even if they get the Mig-29 they would still be getting an obselete Aircraft and the Russians always fuck the Syrian's by selling them their garbage !

    Man that is so pathetic , I feel sorry for those poor pilots that have to fly these flying garbage can's to face the Israeli Air Force's  might . I heard that the Syrian pilots are handcufed to the aircraft and that there is no ejection seats on their planes . MR Saddam Hussein of Syria should resign he is a total fool !!

  • @johnnysouthbound

    Yeah lol..

    And Syrian's pilots aren't well trained.

    And i never heard that they are handcufed to the aircraft ..

    Probaly syria dont want to waste money so they kill the pilot so that they will not need get him a new plane XD

  • @xEden1 The Israel Air-Force is very scary ! who would be foolish enough to go against it ?

    I think that Syria learned it's lesson in 1982 and this is why it is not buying or training it's pilots . In a way that is smart because they save themselves some money and they also manage to save face . When the Syrian Pilot defected to Israel with a Mig-23 , the IDF authorities found him hand cuffed to the inside of the mig and he didn't have ejection seat !

  • @johnnysouthbound

    LOL.

    Poor pilots XD

    Syria is stingy D:

  • @kordicb true

  • ILOVE ISRAEL 

  • @mrmakemakkara Thanks!

  • FINNISH AND ISRAEL AIR FORCE PILOT IS BEST !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mrmakemakkara True!

  • ??????????????????????????????­???

  • @Ankurkumar45 Thanks!

  • VERY SEXY AIROPLANE

  • @mrmakemakkara True!

  • sufa is best pilot 

  • @mrmakemakkara Thank you Sir.

  • oh because the f16 tehm stop it but i hear them stop it cause usa wasnt give us money to make this aircraft and we was no money for this

  • @asafchen1 True!

  • is a real good one but the problem we dont use him anymore cause we got f15

  • @asafchen1 they stop the project because F16.

  • @asafchen1 Hi, was this an adaptation of the f-16 ? i feel that the isreali engineneers are geniuses. they can redesugn anything to meet thier own requirements i love the kfirespecially with the j 79 great plane did a great job. i just watched a special on col. epstien and his career he was a fearless leader. shalom and cheers

  • JEW WIN

    CHINESE WIN

  • @SiMoNRoSeCHEN Thanks!!

  • @sufa256

    I've ever been to Israel,when i have a conversation to Jew,i think they're smart~

  • @SiMoNRoSeCHEN True ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @SiMoNRoSeCHEN

    Hey you..

    Jewish ASSHOLE!!!

    Someday jews will be defeated..

    free palestine!!!

  • @DonyRaincity

    Problem,troll?

  • @DonyRaincity To be surperiour you actually have to do something. Invent something. Can't see any of you did anything like that ever. Thats why you are and always will be bottom of the barrel.

  • in all fairness though, if i was an isreali engineer who spent the past 5 years putting my heart and soul into making my country's first fighter only to have it cancelled because the americans were selling f16s at super low prices, i would be pretty annoyed.

    so if some chinese guy was willing to pay big amounts of money so that my work would not go to waste and live on somewhere else, i would be very tempted...

  • Israel played naughty, so the US stomped all over its pet project in retaliation. It was canceled from a lack of funding when the US refused to continue funding a project that would commentate with their F-16 in international sales. Considering all the US kits that was in that bird and that the program was largely funded by them - It's understandable that the Americans was somewhat pissed off over that the Lavi prototype allegedly ended up in China.

  • I am an Aerospace Engineer, and there are a lot of flaws to that plane, first of all, if the speed on landing was 120Kts the aircraft has an inability to slow down and it's turning capabilities as well as maneuvering are using old technology that can't exceed a certain pressure kilo pascals, making the aircraft less stable if used in mass numbers and in huge air battles. Overall it is a good aircraft but it's not the best.

  • @intellegence63smart

    I think the Lavi wouldn't have been much different than the F-16I Sufa and filled much of the same role in IAF. A good airframe, but not fantastic, more a overweight strike aircraft than a dog fighter - but with excellent electronics and avionics in the package

  • מישהו יודע איך קוראים למנגינה הזו, אני מחפש אותה כבר הרבה זמן חח

  • @strighxz Hans Zimmer The Rock Navy Seals theme

  • @sufa256

    תודה גבר

  • @strighxz בכייף

  • @RakCach VTO האם פרשת הולילנד נותנת רמז?

  • well what a mess a very good fighter plane witch was cancelled because of political reasons is now being developed by china air force manufacturers by the name "j10" and yes they didn't copy the lavi project they have bought the rights of this project

  • @kuttaykikasam True.

  • Typo. By now..

  • עכשיו שיחסינו עם ארה"ב מעורערים, הגיע הזמן לפתוח שוב את תוכנית הלביא!! הלביא לא רק טוב לסינים

  • @ChiefOren אמת!

  • They should build more Lavi's.

  • You right!

  • the israeli like delta wing i guess

  • Yeah

  • because you know they have really a very nice experiences with the delta wing design

    it has played a major role in the history of israeli warfare

    it is kind of their lucky charm or they have some superstitious belief regarding the delta wing jets

    they are excellent interceptors

  • I wish the Israeli government to transfer Lavi technology to PRC. PLAAF/PRC J-10(Lavi copy)!

    And China plans to sell J10s Pakistan(a country that doesnt recognize Israel).

  • You right!

  • I meant to say I wish the never did that because its a big mistake. The PRC will eventually sell or transfer Israelie military tech to anti-Israeli nations like Iran and american ally Pakistan.

  • True!

  • yes it true!! Im so old and I can remmber over thes thma!! thet whose in 1987. the americanos says to israel plece dont kill our power in the world!

  • the LAVI project was stopped because the US understood the the LAVI is better then any f-16 yet its also cheaper if the LAVI would have been made it would kill the f-16 and so the US pulled the plog on that project

  • Ture.

  • Nnnnnot quite, but, do keep believing that. I do love kike's Self-delusion... its kinda cosy, in a way. Of course, if the spastic child that is israel would, for once, pay its own technology bills, The USA could stop changing israel's diapers, and who knows, that sense of personal fiscal responsibiltiy would see kikes spend money wisely. and not wastefully .... for once.

  • @fulcrum100 Listen goyboy. Israel is way ahead of the US in much tech. If we had even 1 tenth of your resource (not human we have the best in the world) We would have settlements on Mars by name.

    Watch your lip, goy.

  • Right...why would US fund this plane if it competed directly with the F-16? That's most of the reason it was canceled Israel couldn't fund it and wanted US to help lol.

  • @OlderG0ds No, America didn't want an independent Israel. So she gave us "Military Aid" which means we must buy American Weapons, with American Shackles. By the way, it is of Israel's intrest to stop the "Aid" and become independent.

  • @ChiefOren

    Why is it that Israel gets the biggest amount of "aid" money out of all other nations from the US?

    I'd be more than happy to cut Israel off and let it be independent. Your buying our weapons with our money ...lol

    Maybe in reality Israel needs US a lot more than we need it?

    I was simply talking about Lavi plane and that it's not US fault because Israel wanted US to help fund it, which is insane since it would compete with our F-16 sales. What's next help Russia make Migs?

  • @OlderG0ds Read through the other comments below and maybe you can understand the workings of "Foreign Aid". And by the way, Israel is not the recipient of the most Aid. Close, but not right.

  • @OlderG0ds No, America didn't want an independent Israel. So she gave us "Military Aid" which means we must buy American Weapons, with American Shackles. By the way, it is of Israel's intrest to stop the "Aid" and become independent.

  • @ChiefOren yes they want an indepandant israel, that's why they give them nukes...

  • @OlderG0ds Also, the entire "Aid" program is a big scam on the American Tax Payer. By giving aid to foreign countries, with the condition of buying American Weapons, what is really going down is that the US Gov. is fleecing the Taxpayers, and supporting Big Business. Gov takes from you, gives "Aid" which then goes into Weapons manufactors. Nice, isn't it?

  • בעבור מטוסי הF16.

  • 确实很像J-10战斗机

  • Yes

  • It Looks like a grippen jet, nice plane dude.

    But i think the reason for this design have been discontinuated is for the same reason for the US government prohibited the sell of Kfirs to my country ( Mexico) in the 80´s and Latin America

  • Yes

  • Wow, a F-16 with delta wings and winglets near the cockpit. It looks a bit like the Eurofighter.

  • Though it could hardly be called a 'copy' of the Eurofighter. Since the LAVI's first flight was only four months after that of the first flight of the EAP.

  • Yes.

  • israel pilot and finnish air force pilot its best

  • True!

    Thanks!

  • So thats where china bought its design for the j-10.Its amazing how western technology manages to find its way east,far far east.I suggest nothing.

  • i wonder if it was better than the f16

  • They are people who say yes.

  • In that time it was, for Israel use. Israel buit as the USA didn't want to sell us the F-16, so we had to built somthing. After the US saw that, they asked us to stop, and sold us the F-16. It cost us billiard, to the technology was sold. To whom? China. I don't think it was smart policy what the US did in that times. I really don't understand it.

  • Looks a lot like a Chinese J10 indeed
