[Small disclaimer: this is a repost of another discussion I participated in regarding the Hellenic additions to Israel which has been partially edited to further the points made. It is highly recommended this post is read in full]
Honestly, there are many additions that could be done to the Israeli tree, and I consider Greece isn’t one of those strong connections in comparison to other nations that could be added, mainly Latin America and Middle Eastern nations.
In my opinion, this whole ordeal regarding Cyprus and Greece seems misplaced from the developer’s side.
To actually start this discussion, what kind of connections in the first place have they made to JUSTIFY PROPERLY the inclusion of both Cyprus and Greece to Israel? As a Latin American War Thunder player, I think we should be the ones added to the Israeli tech tree, as historically speaking, Israel has been the defense partner of choice for this region, just to mention a few and the aircraft in (and past) service:
Ecuador: Kfir C.2 and CE (C.10), Mirage F1 JE & JA
Ecuadorian Air Force — Kfir CE
Ecuadorian Air Force — Mirage F1JA
Colombia: Kfir C.2, C.7, COA (C.10) and the C.10 Block 60
Colombian Air Force — Kfir COA (C.10)
Chile: F-5E Tiger III, Mirage 50CN Pantera, F-16C/D Block 50
Chilean Air Force — F-5E Tiger III

Chilean Air Force — F-16C Block 50
Author’s Note: Big thanks to @Chilean_Thunder for informing us about this israeli modernized F-16 variant.
Chilean Air Force — Mirage 50CN Pantera
Brazil: F-5EM
Brazilian Air Force — F-5EM
Another thing worth to consider is the fact that, there are already original and interesting Israeli vehicles that COULD be added and have IN FACT been accepted as suggestions, but so far not implemented, here the most notable:
IAI Lavi
Israeli Air Force - IAI Lavi Technology Demonstrator
MiG-21 2000
Israeli Air Force - IAI MiG-21 2000 Prototype
F-16B Block 5 “4X-ACE”

Israeli Air Force - IAI F-16B Block 5 “4X-ACE” Technology Demonstrator
[Author’s Note: The F-16B Block 5 “4X-ACE” has yet to be considered by the developers, I hope to be proven right and considered properly as these other aircraft have been.]
For what I’ve noticed so far, the usual pattern for implementing sub-tree nations to a tree seems to be that either they must:
- Share territorial proximity
- Share or have shared military partnerships
- Have common historical background (optional)
As an Israeli main, I am deeply opposed to this implementation because it seems to violate in every way the (questionable but somewhat perceivable) standard that has been implemented for nation sub-trees.
In my opinion, I think Israel (to the disdain of some) should cover the nations of the Middle East and Latin America, which seem far more natural for the nation and which follow at least two out of the parameters mentioned before for a “seamless” integration.
Another crucial reason behind the inclusion of Middle Eastern aircraft is due to the notable possibility of supplying competitive top-tier aircraft. With this information in hand, the Israeli tech tree could be justifiably supplemented, in total or partially, with the following Middle Eastern nations and their aircraft:
Saudi Arabia: Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A, Panavia Tornado IDS, F-15C Eagle
Royal Saudi Air Force — Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A
Royal Saudi Air Force — F-15C Eagle
Egypt: Dassault Rafale F3, F-16A/C Fighting Falcon, Mirage 2000EM, MiG-29M

Egyptian Air Force — Dassault Rafale F3
Egyptian Air Force — MiG-29M
United Arab Emirates: Mirage 2000-9EAD, Dassault Rafale F4, F-16E/F Block 60 Fighting Falcon.
United Arab Emirates Air Force — Mirage 2000-9EAD

United Arab Emirates Air Force — F-16F Block 60
Qatar: Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A, Dassault Rafale F3
Qatar Emiri Air Force — Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A
Qatar Emiri Air Force — Dassault Rafale F3
Syria: MiG-23MF/ML/MLD, MiG-29SE/SM/SMT, MiG-21MF/bis.
Syrian Air Force — MiG-29SMT
Captured Syrian Air Force Aircraft — MiG-23
Iran: MiG-29 9.12B, F-14A Tomcat, Saeqeh, Kowsar, Azarakhsh, F-4E/D Phantom II, F-5E/F Tiger II, J-7N, Mirage F1EQ
Iranian Air Force — MiG-29 9.12B
Iranian Air Force — HESA Saeqeh
Kuwait: F/A-18C Hornet, F/A-18E Super Hornet, Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A
Kuwait Air Force — F/A-18E Hornet
Kuwait Air Force — Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 3A
Bahrain: F-16C/D Block 40, F-16V Block 70
Royal Bahraini Air Force — F-16V Block 70
Please note that this suggestions list has been made for noting purposes, I highly encourage the developers to include the most interesting variants of the aircraft mentioned before in favor of the experience of whoever may choose to play these aircraft, as the inclusion of original or rare aircraft variants is what I consider drives the community forward.
Edit: Upon further information by a fellow community member, the Chilean F-16 has been added as an aircraft of consideration to Latin America in regards to the Israeli tree.
