Not in a while I would say, my bet is not before the J-16 and the F-16V. That means several updates from now since there’s no way China would get more than one top tier plane in an update
For all you Chinese Heli tree fans the Russian delivery man finally did his delivery.
It could be fake or edited for some reason but do what you want with it. Its known China wants them for her landing dock ships and the Ka-52 can act like a fighter bomber like aircraft if there is no anti-air or enemy aircraft. There is also some “reports” China is going to buy a lot of them (36) Ka-52K and (48) Ka-52M but these are from internet sleuths but it is true China was impressed with the Ka-52 and the Type 075 needs a good heli.
Would be nice for China to get these fun heli’s

I know that is why I stated it could be fake I will keep an eye out over the coming weeks but for some reason the netizens of China pump out Photoshop images when something is real for some reason. (People trying to be the first)
Maybe this is similar. It could be there was a new document leak that confirmed a delivery or something maybe in the coming days we see something as there was a long term rumblings of Chinese Ki 52s. Also of other Russian equipment like air dropped tanks and paratrooper technologies.

It looks like an offspring of a Leopard and Leclerc
F-5E+, 2 years ago the US Navy Bought some of Switzerland’s retired F-5E+'s and F-5F+'s (or just simply tiger IIIs) for its aggressor squadron with delivery’s of them spreading between 2024 and 2028 with the first one arriving the same year
in game it would be a F-5E boasting AIM-9L/Ms (depending if gaijin sticks it to having 2 or 4 missiles) as well as 90s weaponry so possibly AGM-65Ds and AGM-65Gs
for quick summary this would be it but it would use the 9Ls instead of pythons due to it being for the US and not israilhttps://forum.warthunder.com/t/israel-aerospace-industries-f-5e-tiger-iii-plus-one-of-the-most-powerful-northrop-f-5-in-the-world/9601
i know aviation weekly isn’t the most trusted news source but they’ve leaked quite a bit about what the F-35 is capable of and is quite well known to include stuff that typically wouldn’t be public
this is the only photo of the later upgraded F-5 cockpit i could find

Ballistics computer?
That’s the 2a6ex demo 2 a improvement older demo 1
And unfortunately I think 2a6a3 would be irrelevant now but 2a7a1 could be a good replacement for it
I could see 2A7A1 being better due to APS (which would help it against CAS), but why would 2A6A3 be irrelevant now? Won’t it’s armor be good enough for tank to tank engagement?
Ohk, fixed it
It misses a lot of the crucial areas of the 2a7Vs improved armour while the shatter plate would still help against bad shots there’s just a lot still exposed and maybe not irrelevant but it should came way before 2a7V Gajin have messed up the German mbts imo
Gets the APS and the same armour improvements since iirc they were from dutch leopard 2a6a2s or ma2s something around that and it’s just cooler
Oh, I was expecting it to have better armor
It would be a great addition then, hopefully it gets added with SEP V3 next update
Next update is a stretch imo I hope for a mbt focused update soon but idk Gajin really seems to avoid them

Given the stuff BvvD has said the next update is very likely either naval or air focussed, since June is usually when naval stuff happens, and BvvD said we’d get some fancy new toy for air battles in the first half of 2026, which we haven’t gotten so far.
(I forgot exactly what fancy new toy it was, I couldn’t care less for high tier plane combat since I’m a ground main with a burning hatred for CAS)
