I was very disappointed the AESA Typhoons didnt come with Litening V
Even if they were functionally identical to the 3s or sniper. It would have been a nice small visual difference.

Exactly. We didn’t receive any new gen pod to the nato side(including Israel) in a very long time (except the sniper, which I personally dislike). And now new info about Rafael 5th gen lightning pod has surfaced.

But what new would it add?
At the moment, not necessarily much. Im not sure on the exact zoom figures of L5, but should in theory be better than L3
according to google (don’t take this seriously its via google AI i only half believe it, could be better) its 20x-90x electrical optical zoom
They should add Sniper ATP as well for most toptier jet but for some reason they don’t.
It is very much exported.

It can be mounted on Rafales. But only India and Qatar imported it.
Indonesia got it’s first Rafale in January of this year 2026, so maybe we’ll get picture of one with a Sniper ATP soon.
Beligan F-16 with Sniper pod (took them myself :D ):

So does Gaijin give Sniper a wrong minimum zoom or it is correct as is?
