The F-16I "Sufa" (Storm) is a specialized variant of the F-16 Fighting Falcon operated by the Israeli Air Force (IDF). In 2004, the IDF's 119th Squadron, also known as the "Bat" Squadron, began flying the F-16I. Based at Ramon Airbase, the 119th Squadron focuses on precision strike missions and air superiority roles. The F-16I features advanced avionics, conformal fuel tanks for extended range, and the capability to carry a variety of precision-guided munitions. With its state-of-the-art systems, the F-16I has been integral to Israel's defense strategy, participating in numerous operations to protect Israeli airspace and conduct deep-strike missions.

Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976.
