Why do Isreal top tier jets like F16C, F16D and F15E not use AGM 65s?
The Kurnass / 2000 get aim65 and the netz.

Strange the F-16 doesn’t has it, but F-15 just don’t get it, If I’m not wrong, there’s no F-15 that has any advanced ordnances but dumb bombs.
You could consider historical aspects. Just because one uses in a way that the other would do the same. Taking for example, the German F-4F does have access to advanced ordnances like TV guided air-to-ground missiles, but the Japanese F-4EJ doesn’t.
I mean, it was the truth, though I admit it comes off a bit charged, sorry for the trouble. Hard to discuss why a certain type of weapon isnt really used by a nation while ignoring reality though. Isreal just doesnt face many conventional threats or targets that can actually pose a threat to its AF and as such doesnt really need F&F munitions. They do have some more modern stuff though, but they seem to be more popular in export markets than in the IDF.
It’s more because when the later F-16s and F-15I entered service Israel was shifting to their own indigenous weaponry. Weapons like the Popeye AGM and Spice Guided Bombs replaced the AGM-65 in Israeli service.
It’s something that’s always been painful to watch with WT because Gaijin is very anemic when it comes to adding weapons that aren’t Russian/American, this goes for every minor nation really as unfortunate as it is. The F-15I should without a doubt have at least the Popeye and/or Spice 1000/2000, especially now that the American 15E gets the 229 engines they previously used as a “balancing factor” to offset the lack of standoff weaponry the 15I has in-game due to Gaijin’s own laziness to model domestic weaponry for minor nations.

The F15E gets agm 65 next major update but the isreal F15I doesn’t but it get better engines…
they get the same engines now
Honestly I don’t think many people would mind if it got placeholder weapons while we wait for the actual domestic stuff to be added.

Okay now I want agm 65 if historical or not
we already have placeholder aim-9m (isntead of Python 4/5). Japan have placeholder f-16aj. Ussr got placeholder yak-141. Sweden got placeholder mavericks on viggen. Su-25sm3 have placeholde kh-38. Mig-29 got placeholder r-27er. 2s38 got placeholder proxy fuze he.
Not a big deal at all.
Now the F-15E will also get a better engine while the F-15I is still disabled.
Yeah kinda unfair. But there is a vote for F15I to get uts own isrealy weapons. May they see this.
I hope so, but at present, the development server has been closed, and Smin and others are still closed about the CAS ability of F-15I disability, and there is little hope.
We will continue to repeat the same ending as F-16D and F-16CBlock52, F-15C and BAZ2000.
Probably. Isreal is just not worth it?
In Gaijin’s opinion, this is probably the case. Everything is worse than others.
Yeah not many premium to sell there so not important because most ppl won’t grind it anyways
it has potential to have many premium’s and be a bigger nation.
Just look at this imaginary tech tree someone made, i dont agree with all of it, but most of it could fit in the game or for example the spyder AIO in the games future.
I like the premium M24 at 8.0. XD what a funny thing
Found this by SHEER coincidence
Looks like F-15A might possibly carry Mavs, so possibly even F-15I? Not sure
