Israel aircraft rank IX speculations

it wont becasue they arent even build yet

its gonna be a greek rafale
or a greek F-16V

They exist as prototypes,

That’s a consideration that does not have implemented meanwhile they are Eurofighters with AESA radar
You see the difference? Prototypes that have been tested irl and a paper proposal for an upgrade

nvm I see what you mean, makes sense

the AESA EFs are also starting to be put into service

That’s the thing we don’t know what “upgraded to f15ex standard” means. Is it radar and external thing? Is this full remanufacture and internal changes.

Same thing that F-16C Block ~40-50/52 upgraded to F-16C Block 70/72 standard means…?

Again, not the case here.

F-16AJ is just an F-16A with sparrows. Doesn’t even have the landing gear door sparrows that were a requirement.

I mean by that logic F-15IA is just F-15EX with Israeli weapons

But did that plane exist? It can be said F-16AJ “existed” and was only a paintjob away from looking like the one in-game.

From what I read it never passed the paper stage, also F-15I+ is more of a MLU to the F-15I, not a new plane

That’s not what I said. The F-16A with sparrows obviously existed, so it was only a paintjob away from looking like the AJ we have. It was simply not bought. The plane itself is real and not unique.

okay but did it exist in that configuration or not

Oh okay I see what you mean, still the comparison feels wrong because the F-16AJ exists the same way the F-15IA exist as of now.
The airframes for Japan weren’t built because it wasn’t bought.
The airframes for the F-15IA are being built so it makes even more sense than the F-16AJ.

ps for your question currently it’s a paper aircraft (both the I+ and IA)

I want F-35I

Same but too soon

I can’t wait for 5th gen icl

How do you know? Another thing we don’t know is what weapons will it carry. We can only speculate what it can do.
Also the Block 52+, Block 52+ Advanced and Mirage 2000-5 EGM/BGM are some more rank 9 Greece can offer
