Abstract
We discuss production of very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays in large scale extragalactic jets of FR I sources. Based on recent optical and X-ray observations of these objects we evaluate their VHE emission in a framework of one electron population model. We consider possibility for detection of the predicted radiation, which could provide important constraints on the jet structure and some hardly known large scale jet parameters.
