History and usage: The Shafrir 2 missile was developed in Israel as an improved version of the first-generation Shafrir missile, which was one of the pillars of the independence of the Israeli defense industry. It demonstrated its capabilities during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 as the main armament of the IAF Mirage III, Nesher, and Kfir fighters. The Shafrir 2 distinguished itself in numerous aerial engagements during the conflict, successfully competing with well-known global solutions. It remained in service from the early 1970s until the 1980s, when it was replaced by the newer Python missiles.
