F-16I SUFA

Auto Credit Based on Angelcod73's F-16D block 40 barak UPDATED

Hello everyone!

I have returned once again now with this beautiful F-16I sufa, I really liked how this plane turned out i decided to make it as close to the real thing in Add on stuff as I could. It is similar to the block 40 but obviously has some weapon upgrades and that beautiful CFT that makes it look chunky.

With all of that being said I hope you enjoy!!

Some history and info:

The F-16I is a two-seat variant of the Block 52 developed for the Israeli Defense Force – Air Force (IDF/AF).[81] Israel issued a requirement in September 1997 and selected the F-16 in preference to the F-15I in July 1999. An initial "Peace Marble V" contract was signed on 14 January 2000 with a follow-on contract signed on 19 December 2001, for a total procurement of 102 aircraft. The F-16I, which is called Sufa (Storm) by the IDF/AF, first flew on 23 December 2003, and deliveries to the IDF/AF began on 19 February 2004.[82] The F-16I has an estimated unit cost of approximately US$70 million (2006).[83]
One major deviation of the F-16I from the Block 52 is that approximately 50% of the avionics were replaced by Israeli-developed avionics, such as the Israeli Aerial Towed Decoy replacing the ALE-50 and autonomous aerial combat maneuvering instrumentation, which enables training exercises to be conducted without dependence on ground instrumentation. Elbit Systems produced the aircraft's helmet-mounted sight, head-up display (HUD), mission and presentation computers, and digital map display. Furthermore, the F-16I can employ Rafael's Python 5 infrared-guided air-to-air missile, and often uses Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)'s removable conformal fuel tanks (CFT) for extended range. Key American-sourced systems include the F100-PW-229 turbofan engine, which offers commonality with the IDF/AF's F-15Is, and the APG-68(V)9 radar.[84]

    @Angelcod73 Funny enough I’ve also made a F-16D with ReinMcDeer’s F-16 C. Guess great minds think alike, huh?

    @PriusCat thanks! Yeah I used his F16C as a base for these bad boys. I initially did the twin seater version of this a year ago in the form of the Block 40 16D. I had always wanted to make a sufa but didn’t get around actually doing it until now lol, but yeah very proud with how it turned out in the end.
