Wait what!!!

Yes!!!

Spoiler

No.

its a bomb? :sob:

nvm read the horrifically wrong, but the popeye would be like things we already have in game. the PGM-500/2000 have 50km of range. the popeye would have just slightly more range.

No worries. I wasn’t aware the PGM was in-game, but I see it’s on the GR-1. Popeye would be fine then if they nerfed its range. Yes, the PGM 500 says 31 miles, but it likely won’t reach it due to not having enough energy. The Popeye will be able to reach 31 at almost any launch speed.

A good example of this is the R77. It says it’s a 50-mile missile, but it can’t make it anywhere near that number.

Also all sources I found the lower range I have found for the PGM is 70km which is 20km more than the PGM.

We need the bunker busters for our new F-15i

GBU-28/B with BLU-122/B warhead

The Bunker buster was used by the F-15E too. It would only be fair for it to get it as it was used a lot in the gulf war. Don’t get me wrong. I want the Israeli F-15I to receive some good A/G wepons so they can deal with spaa. The GBU-28 won’t help it a lot

That would be cool to see the X-ray of the kill. Bomb just penetrates the tank and takes everyone out via kinetics. Then explodes the dead husk.

New map Iran and some nuclear powerplants will help 😉

Oh yeah it would. Making the JDAM’s and SDB’s actually be useful

Imagine bombing one bunker entrance and entire enemy team cant spawn anymore

Eh it’s more or less equal. Only thing the Israeli have that afaik we don’t have a direct counterpart to is Popeye missile

Have Nap is the American Popeye. Bought from israel.

It’s really that a lot of the stuff originates from Israel and is dispersed abroad. Through the ages it has been trophy and active protection as a whole, ERA while the idea is Russian Israel was the first to be able to produce and use it, python3 is basis for Chinese PL-8. Shoot the J-10 might as well be Israeli from the stolen information. Spike’s especially the NLOS spike is broken IRL. Python 5 is widely agreed to be the best IR missile in the world. Iron dome is crazy. Forefront of drone work. etc etc.

Upgraded Popeyes were developed by Lockheed and Rafael , and were largely manufactured in USA then sold to Israel

Also have nap was only used by B-52 in USAF service not F-15

Pretty sure contact 1 is older than Israeli ERA and while not very advanced the Russians did work on APS pretty early on
