VMFT-401 was commissioned in 1986 and in 1987 received the IAI Kfir (designated F-21A) under lease from the Israeli government. The "Snipers" flew the Kfir until 1989, when it transitioned to the F-5E Tiger II. This skin is inspired by the 1987-89 timeframe in which USN and USMC flew the Kfir, a delta-wing aircraft of French origin.
The Kfir was built by IAI based on the Mirage V airframe. The closest flyable substitute to the Kfir in DCS is the M-200C, so this is a fictional skin that paints the M-2000C as a USMC adversary. This skin pack uses the traditional Israeli Air Force desert pattern that was used on some of the VMFT-401 adversary aircraft, as well as the Flogger and Ghost patterns also used by VMFT-401. Since the original aircraft were leased and kept much of their original markings, so is the case with the M-2000C skins.
