===Shafrir 1=== |
|||
The '''Shafrir 1''' was developed in 1959-1964 to fulfil IAF's requirement for a domestic air-to-air missile. It was intended to build-up domestic defense industry's capability, as well as reducing reliance on foreign imports. The fear of foreign dependence was later proven when France banned arms export to Israel. |
|||
The Shafrir 1 was intended for use on French-built Mirage jets. The first testing took place in France in 1963. However the missile's performance was so poor that they immediately started on the next improved version, the Shafrir 2.

===Shafrir 2=== |

Perhaps the most deadly AAM ever built by Israel, the Shafrir was credited with 89 kills in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. [http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/missile_systems/air_missiles/python/Python2.html] During its entire service life, the Shafrir 2 is credited with shooting down a total of 106 aircraft. |
