IAF - “Napgach" racks on Nesher?

[Hook]

Good evening, 

 

would anyone know if the  “Napgach" centreline MERs used by the Kfir were also employed by the Nesher squadrons? I can't seem to find any pictures. 

 

Cheers,

This is the best I have, unfortunately it's not definitive as to what it actually is.

 Interesting topic! Always in when it's about the Nesher/Dagger subject.

That's a Nesher with a Napgach rack on TBC's piccie; dunno whether it's just a trial fit done on that aircraft by the IAF or if it ever flew loaded like that. Remember Kfirs had a much more powerful engine.

On the other hand;

 

 

Same bird, but loaded with a Nafgan rack; here:

 

 

Then again; I wonder whether or not Neshers could have ever been capable of hauling Napgach racks on the centreline pylon given that they would seldom load the 1300/1700 litre tanks under their wings, as our Daggers used to.

Will keep on searching.

Cheers,

Thanks, both of you! 

 

Since it would seem at tleast physically possible, I'll mount the Napgach.

Yes it was, The Israeli air force flew a few bombing missions at the start of the YKW.
