My reaction to this leaklist will drop at 12am est Feb 26th 2026
Here are my current top tier jet productions.
F-15 EX to U.S TT
F-15 IA to Israel TT Edit: won’t be delivered until 2035 so scratch this prediction.
The Israeli TT could get a Greek Rafale due to the sub-tree announcement.
More likely the next Rafale would be in the Japan TT due to the sub-tree Indonesia.
Don’t get me wrong, I would be happy to see it in the game, just lower my expectations not to be disappointed eventually.
Though maybe considering we already have aircraft which haven’t received armament irl, chances to see it aren’t that low really.
PS where does it say “domestic”?
So about 20 hours ago the leaklist will drop? ;)
Could it be that it’s forgotten only because it hasn’t been delivered to the Israeli air force yet?
fixed it
The first units are in hand. (Upgraded units)
Israel didn’t just double their order without any feedback from the IAF.
Edit:This was based on incorrect information.
I am not editing it out entirely.
It’s just hard to get excited about them when the
F-35I Adir exists.
I cant wait for US mains trying to justify why they need Aim-9X BLK2 and Aim-120D3 on their F-22s to compete with Typhoons with 9M and Aim-120C5s and why giving the Typhoon ASRAAM/IRIS-T and Meteors would be unfair
Source?
Its israel. what dont they have at this point?
both the 77-1 and 120 D were upgrades to older missiles, the meteor was brand new with a cutting edge propulsion system, it being put in service in the same time frame doesn’t mean its equal in performance
4th gen with AESA I suppose.
It was a translated source from the original herbrew. It is sitting on the clearnet. It’s just not in English. I’ll try and locate it again.
They’re already asking for AIM-9X on some comment sections of videos I’ve seen.
Yeah my understanding was none of the retrofit occurred just yet even though it was planned as well alongside the delivery of new planes.
They’ve been begging for 9X for about 18 months, maybe 2 years now, I saw requests for it before they even added the Rafale and Typhoon
Allegedly they have a test aircraft. I guess they aren’t expected to take full delivery until 2031-2035.
I stand corrected.
I’m curious to see their reaction when AIM-9X is added but counterparts like ASRAAM and MICA IR are added alongside it too.
Simple. They will be demanding ASRAAM on all US aircraft
