TheShafrir-1was developed in 1959–1964 to fulfill IAF\'s requirement for a domestic air-to-air missile. It was intended to build the domestic defense industry\'s abilities, and reduce reliance on foreign imports. The fear on foreign dependence was later proven whenFrancebanned arms export to Israel.
The Shafrir-1 was intended for use on French-built Mirage jets. The first testing took place in France in 1963. However the missile\'s performance was so poor that they immediately started on the next improved version, the Shafrir-2.
