Historical information and application

The F-16I Sufa is the Israeli version of the legendary General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon multirole fighter, developed based on the F-16D Block 52 structure, specifically tailored for the Israeli Air Force (IAF). These aircraft have been introduced since 2004 and remain in active service to this day—thus representing the modern era. They have taken part in numerous military operations carried out by Israel in the Middle East. A distinctive feature of this version is the extensive Israeli-produced avionics and heavy armor, which also influences the configuration of the wheel bay sections highlighted in the presented Aires set.
