Something I would like to emphasize is that the SPAAs that will be added in this new update will be very difficult to destroy from the air (with the first new generation surface-to-air missiles), especially for the Kfir. I think the Spice Stand-off Kit should be implemented now… it would make it more competitive in CAS battles.
I’m becoming more convinced of the need to strengthen the Kfir C10 in-game with more competitive weapons and mechanics (than the Kfir has in real life). Everyone talks about their favorite planes and the major nations, but we need to give visibility to other good platforms that were only added incompletely. For the new update, the SPAAs will be very strong and the Kfir C10 will suffer (if it already suffers) and the only thing needed would be to add the Stand-Off Kits of the Spice family (2000-1000-250) as well as the problematic MAWS (which the Kfir does have but Gaijin omitted and has not wanted to listen to us).

Hello community In the following image that I took from a War Thunder youtuber it is shown that the new Mig 29 Sniper will have the new SPS-20 (V) RWR of Israeli technology. Focusing on the RWR this is part of the SPECTROLITE SPS-65-V-5 suite which I proposed for the Kfir C10 and which is much better than the SPS-200 it has, I need your help to support me to incorporate this RWR into the Kfir (Because it will be in the game) Pls

We have new information about the RWR that the kfir use. its the SPS 45v6
And many KEY AERO sides say it to
Many Nations and Airplanes use the SPS 45V as an RWR
We are trying to find out more information about the functions and capabilities of the SPS 45V6

Great job bro, It would be good if the Kfir C10 were improved to be competitive because, when playing in the top tier (+13 Br) it must be faithful to the reality of the vehicle in the FAC. In addition, it is most likely to receive the most updated armament in the near future(I-Derby-ER and Python 5) for air battles and must have the aircraft capable of competing against its peers, and not be a filler aircraft to give kills to other vehicles of its future Br.

Gaijin has added SPICE bombs today, only for the F-16 Barak in the game. As I said, this will balance the new SPAAs. I’ve already reported for them to include this weapon on the Kfir C10. I appreciate the support of the lovely forum community: (this kit was also missing on the F-15I and the Baz) Community Bug Reporting System

Why are our bug reports rejected without us getting a proper answer?

Every time it is said that we cannot prove that the Kfir was upgraded. Even though it was upgraded from 2013 to 2018

Why did you edit the message and ping me about it? I dont have any power over bug reports as that is not my area
Sorry im new in the forum, I don’t know who to write to
Ah, well you can contact tech mods with private messages about questions regarding bug reports
They can be found here

I think there was a misunderstanding. You suggested the Kfir C10 Block 60. I thought you was a tech mod. Thanks for the info.

and as you may know, the Kfir c10 block 60 is not represented correctly in the game, at least as far as the RWR is concerned

The Kfir C.10 now has the SPICE 1000 Stand-off kit.
Now the big problem is to convince Gaijin realize that the Kfir C.10 Block 60 avionics are much more modern with israeli tecnology (RWR, HMD and Datalink) as well as the most modern armament capacity (Python 5 and I-Derby-ER)
That is the true power of the Colombian Lion Cub

This is great, the main source of these reports are based on the “Colosseum” upgrade project that modernized the IAI Kfir C.10 Fighter-Bombers to the Block 60 variant to levels similar to modern fighters, because of this, this powerful aircraft should be upgraded to its historical version in the game, and will be the basis for future mechanics that are planned to be added to WT, it will be competitive (BR) and vindicate such an interesting vehicle.

Greetings, forum community
Often when documents such as sources don’t exist publicly, the possession of weapons, technologies, capabilities, etc. can be demonstrated through photographic and video means. In this case, the Kfir C.10 Blk 60 contains many features that weren’t included in the game (you know: it was simply a C7 with radar and ARH missiles). Therefore, I want to demonstrate the existence of the Targo 2 HMD in the FAC’s inventory with the following resources, sources including Kfir pilots and official FAC media outlets:
TARGO II on the Kfir C.10 Blk 60
As you can see, FAC pilots use the most advance gen Targo II, which has greater capabilities than the DASH HMDs they also possess and which were the first to be acquired.
Some of the features of the FAC Targo II include:
- NVCD and NVG click-on
- Integrated sensors
- Data link capability with the fleet and ground radar system
- 360-degree target tracking
- Used to maximize the capabilities of the Python 5
For these reasons, I propose that this feature be updated on the in-game Kfir C.10 before or at the same time as the Python 5 and I-Derby-ER missiles are integrated, which will increase its BR.
Further changes to its avionics and technology will be necessary for the Kfir C.10 to be historically accurate and competent in the game.

Good evening gentlemen, as I am currently writing this, I should be heading to bed for tomorrow’s classes, however, the passion and commitment I feel towards the Kfir has driven me forward to write this post
Without any more delays, allow me to present a discovery that will likely put a smile on every Kfir enjoyers face’s:
WE CAN RECEIVE MORE MFD MODES
You may ask, how is this possible?
Well, as many of you may be aware, most air forces produce promotional material for the civilian public in order to garner attention and potentially receive new recruits, this can be —in the case of Colombia— seen in the Colombian Air Force’s Official YouTube Channel, in which they report on operations, news, spread recruitment ads, etc.
Well, I decided to start digging inside the channel in hopes of finding any sort of information, pictures, or video snippets regarding the Kfir C.10 Block 60, and I am glad to report that I HAVE MADE ENOUGH FINDINGS TO MAKE A REPORT (or so is what I believe).
Also, honorable mention, the Kfir C.10 video made by IAI
Allow me to present the following screenshots sorted by category:
Datalink and Sensors
Radar screen being displayed on the left MFD, while Datalink is shown on the right MFD. The radar coverage is (faintly) shown.
DataLink view being displayed on the left MFD, unknown MFD function on the right. This clip is likely from a Kfir 2000 prototype showcase.
Low resolution close-up of the left MFD showing DataLink functionality.
Radar being displayed on the right MFD, while DataLink is shown on the right MFD.
Unknown MFD function being displayed on the left MFD, while Datalink is being displayed on the right MFD.
DataLink view being displayed on the right MFD, the center MFD can be shown presenting the compass.
Top view of the MFD’s, the right MFD shows the radar, while the left shows the DataLink view.
High resolution closeup of the DataLink view, showing the radar coverage as well.
Higher resolution closeup of the DataLink view.
Right MFD shown displaying DataLink functionality, as well as the diagonally left MFD (faintly) displaying RWR functionality.
Weapon Systems
Payload being displayed on the right MFD, notice the center and lower MFD’s are showing the artificial horizon and compass.
Heads Up Display
Left MFD displaying the HUD, notice the remaining MFD’s are showing DataLink (right MFD), compass (center MFD) and artificial horizon (center-left).
Miscellaneous:
In this Kfir, the left MFD seems to be not functioning properly.
Close-up of a ground crew technician about to remove a countermeasure dispenser block from the Kfir.
Memento of the Colombian Air Force pilot graduation, every pilot receives this eagle statue holding a Python 5 missile in its claws as a gift and commemoration of their success.
Please, feel free to correct what has been shown in this post, as I plan to later on use these clips and (better) screenshots from these videos to make a bug report so they can be implemented to our beloved aircraft.
Anyways, I’m off to bed.
