Python IV's are from Paragon and GBU-10 Paveway II, AIM-120s', navigation and targeting pods are from Hasegawa weapons sets. The Lightning II targeting pod is a shortened Hasegawa targeting pod.

The Bat squadron celebrated it's 50th anniversery on June 11th, 2006 which was a day prior to the second Lebanon War. This was ironic because 50 years earlier, Bat squadron Meteor NF.13 no.52 was used to shoot down an Egyptian IL-14, in an act that started the Suez War.

The Sufa's beyond visual range air to air capability in the form of AIM-120's, precision strike, all weather capability and long range afforded to it by new upper fuselage CFT's make it a worthy replacement for the Bat squadron's previous mount - the F-4 Phantom.
