Originally starting with the Shafrir (Hebrew: שפריר, loosely translated as a dome, or a protective cloak — the Israeli military considers itself mostly defensive, but also similar sounding to Dragonfly, a male form of inflection for Damselfly (שפירית)) series, the Shafrir-1 missile was developed in 1959, followed by the Shafrir-2 in early 1970s.
[7], China's PLAAF was quite impressed with this missile, and paid for licensed production as the PL-8 AAM in the 1980s. [4] The Shafrir-2 was exported along with Israeli-made aircraft to South American countries. However the missile's performance was so poor that they immediately started on the next improved version, the Shafrir-2.[8]. 0000075385 00000 n As a beyond-visual-range missile, it is capable of "lock-on after launch" (LOAL), and has full-sphere/all-direction (including rearward) attack ability.
