In that case, Argentina has the fifth-largest Jewish population in the world. Even the president is Jewish, and many of his ministers swear into office on the Torah. The four main nations with Jewish populations are already represented in the game, so, following your argument, Argentina is the best choice.
That said, Gaijin hasn’t followed a clear standard for choosing subtrees. Some were chosen due to cultural ties, others for commercial or technological connections. And then there’s Hungary, which feels like a very arbitrary choice given that Gaijin’s headquarters are based there.
I still think LATAM fits perfectly with Israel’s needs, while maintaining the tech tree’s coherence. You’re the guy with the “zombie tanks,” right? Well, Israel has plenty of those zombie tanks too.
Israeli heavy vehicles + LATAM light vehicles (many equipped with Israeli tech)—most of which are heavily modified American and French designs—fit perfectly, in my opinion.
Germany could get the TH-301, which is essentially the same as the TAM but with side skirts and NVDs. They could also replace the TAM 2C with the Marder Medium MBT.
Israel, on the other hand, could receive the 2IP, 2C, TAM 2CA2, TAM 2C + IP mod, and the TAM S21 (a standard TAM with Israeli munitions and thermal sights).
If the other Argentine vehicles are going to Israel, then the Kurassier A1 and A2, the Patagón, the AMX 13-105, the standard TAM, the TAM A prototype (which could sit at 8.3), and the VCTP should also go there. You could even include the TAM VCLC (manufactured in Israel) and the VCA TAM. The AML-90 is already in Israel’s tech tree, but the ERC-90F1 could also be added. Israel urgently needs more light vehicles.
Additionally, Brazil and Chile have a wide range of vehicles—many wheeled and incorporating Israeli technology or design philosophy.

This update takes quiet some time to finish, does this also impact the start of the december update devblogs?
Does the long time of implementation of this update effect the next update release schedule?
Right after the “other Argentine vehicles” you mention the AMX 13-105 and the ERC-90, which are french. Would be lovely if those go to France who also are in need of filling gaps and not Israel just bc of a subtree.
Argentina used them, and if Argentina/LATAM becomes a sub-tree for Israel, they would naturally be added to Israel’s tech tree. At no point did I say that France can’t or shouldn’t have them as well.
but time is against them putting out a meaningful update unless that whilst working on bugs for this update there has been a team working on the december update
That’s my thought, they obviously don’t start new development for the next update only after the current one is out anyways. Maybe/possibly they have more down the pipeline that just needs a month more time of work
of the three, I think Argentina has the most to contribute to the aviation tech tree, which is where Israel struggles the most (especially in the mid tiers). Even the Pampa II and III are Elbit upgrades AI-63 | Elbit Systems, as is the latest Pucará.
On the other hand, I’m not an expert on Brazil or Chile—others could probably provide more insight. From what I’ve seen, though, Brazil has many interesting light wheeled vehicles and some unique tanks with great mobility. Damn, raise your hand if you’d love to have a Centauro II in the Israeli tech tree 🙌
