The Elbit-designed tactical simulator will include eight compartments similar to an F-16 cockpit, allowing pilots to train in formation.

The simulator will replicate anti-aircraft fire to allow evasive tactics practice, according to Haaretz.com.

The Israeli Defence Forces Planning Directorate approved the new unit, which will begin operation later this year and be specifically tasked with running training drills.
