We are happy to inform you that in one of the future War Thunder updates a new playable nation will appear - Israel! Despite its youth, the Israeli armed forces are rightfully considered one of the most combat-ready armies in the world, and Israel's military forces are an interesting alloy of foreign vehicles with advanced domestic machines.
In the upcoming War Thunder update "Ground Breaking", two premium aircraft from the early access packs will be added to the Israeli aviation lineup. The owners of the packs will be the first to get access to the closed beta testing of the aviation tech tree of the new playable nation, that will begin in the next major update after the upcoming “Ground Breaking” update. Prior to Israeli aviation CBT, early access pack owners will be able to participate in aircraft random battles and prepare their crews!
Spitfire LF Mk IXe by Ezer Weizman
One of the most successful modifications of the legendary Spitfire in the livery of the personal aircraft of Ezer Weizman, a RAF veteran pilot, who later became the commander of the Israeli Air Force, and subsequently became the president of the nation!
In addition to the perfect maneuverability and excellent speed at low and medium altitudes, this aircraft carries 8 cm Flz.-Rakete Oerlikon rockets, unique to the game, with a shaped-charged warhead and an armor penetration value up to 300mm.
A-4E Skyhawk (Late)
A late Israeli modification of one of the best strike aircraft in the game! The aircraft features a new armament of 2х30mm DEFA guns, a parachute, and an elongated tail. The premium Skyhawk carries a large payload of various suspended weapons - bombs up to 2,000 pounds, Zuni and Mighty Mouse rockets, gun pods, and the AGM-62 Walleye guided bombs
A wonderful strike aircraft and the best choice to accelerate the research of high-ranking Israeli aviation!

Unlike all other game nations, Israeli tech tree won't start from Rank 1. We will share more details in future.
what happens to the vehicles which are in the US line-up, such as the Merkavas?
They cannot fly, so nothing will happen with them for now :P
Warsaw pact / V4 tech tree when?
I have waited for this day
Wonderful!! Merkava here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please tell me this is a joke. I can't believe it
So when can we buy these planes?
This is definitely a plus, this means we'll get the Czech license built 109s the Avia S-199, though I wonder what they'll do with Ranks 1-3 since Israel doesn't seem to have aircraft fit for those, The S-199 is pretty much the earliest aircraft they have and that's the equivalent of a Bf 109G along with Spitfire LF MK IX. Perhaps they'll implement something where you unlock the Israeli tree when you unlock the Rank 4 on either the US,UK or even France? just speculating.
IMO there's a enormous BR gap between those two premium airplanes. I would rather the a lower BR jet like the French Ouragan than this A4-E. It even has more sense since higher BR is the one where some Israeli manufactured jets like the Nesher or the later Kfir would shine. The rest will be more of US and Brits airplanes so nothing new. As Israeli Air Force was only created in 1948 (I guess I'm not wrong there) so: B-17s, Mustangs, Spits, Mosquitos, Beaufighters and the top jet Phantom.
Okay now im hooked even more
Okay I read in here that an admin said Israel won't start at rank 1, which sounds good. If they start at rank 4 then I'll be happier :)
