KFIR NG for the Colombian Air Force???



Representatives of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) have revealed at the Paris International Airshow 2019 that they are developing the modernized Kfir NG (Next Generation) fighter, which they consider an alternative for the Colombian Air Force (FAC). According to an article in Jane's, the 22 Kfir fighters that IAI modernized for the FAC have made a good impression on the ranks of the armed institution, which took another step forward and acquired six ELM-2052 active electronic scanning (AESA) radars in 2018. , plus three likely in 2018, to deploy better aerial target detection capabilities. The IAI representative quoted by Jane's, the head of the IAI Aviation Group, Yossi Melamed, points out that the Colombian Kfir fighters have been updated to the Kfir Block 60 standard, that their airframes have been brought to "zero hours" and added, without Go into details, that the Kfir NG integrates more up-to-date capabilities. In addition, the FAC already has the necessary infrastructure to provide logistical support to the Kfir NG, the pilots know the weapons system, it has flight simulators and even missiles (air-to-air). Among others, the Kfir NG incorporates the GE F414 turbine, the same engine that uses the FA-18E / F Super Hornet fighter (twin-engine) and the Gripen E / F (single-engine), modern tactical links, state-of-the-art avionics and under development a modification to the rear section of the fuselage that will allow more fuel to be shipped. The Kfir NG can be supplied to the FAC from existing airframes, in Colombia or Israel, or as newly manufactured fighters. It remains to see how much a third-generation fuselage can be modernized and compare its capabilities against the cost, which should be ostensibly less than that of a 4+ or 4 ++ generation fighter. The FAC high command is evaluating its options to modernize its aerial fighter wing and among the options that have resonated the most are new or used F-16 fighters; Gripen, also new or used; and Eurofighter Typhoon fighters from the inventory of the Spanish Air Force.
