Israel's latest fighter, the IA/ Lavi, takes to the air on its first flight on the final day of 1986. Lavi will ultimately replace Kfir, F-4 and A-4 aircraft in the Heyl Ha Avir though it is presently meeting with financing restrictions as the US puts pressure on Israel to select a US aircraft in place of Lavi.

Cooksey Report Foresees a Doubling of Military Export Potential:

Cooksey sees the great advantage of his two major recommendations as being that they can be implemented relatively quickly and without financial cost.
