Israel soon to have 2nd largest fleet of F-16s...

[0313]

The F-16I

Israel will have a total of 362 F-16 jets, the largest fleet in any country in the world behind the United States. The new "I" model will give added capabilities to the IAF and will complement the squadron of F-15I's Israel received at the end of the 1990s.

Longer range too, can target Iran, woohoo..

The Sufa jet has an unrefueled combat strike radius well in excess of 500 miles. The extended flight range enables the IAF to attack targets well within Iran and Libya without having to refuel.

Root Moose; What are those dorsal bulges for? Fuel?

Complementing the upgraded weapon systems is a dorsal compartment containing enhanced mission avionics and chaff and flare dispensers, enabling it to conduct either pilot training or combat missions. In addition, removable conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) have been added along the fuselage and above the wing roots, freeing-up underwing hard points for additional armaments.
