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.
Dutch tech tree when?
I actually love you for this one Gaijin. You have completed my heart with joy. ISRAEEL LET'S GOOO.
I'm really excited, it honestly makes more sense than having Israeli vehicles being put in at least 4 other tech trees.
Unlike a lot of people in this comment section, I'm at least excited to see a new nation in the game, I don't even care if it's a bunch of copy and paste either :D I wonder what the unlock requirement for Israel will be since they won't be starting at rank 1 :P
Besides. Troops that later would become part of the IDF existed well prior to 1948, and did participate in WWII as part of the British forces against the Germans. Notably the Palmach (which had some Hotchkiss H35/39's.) And after WWII they fought *against* the British until the state of Israel was formed on what previously was the Brittish mandate of Palestine.
I for one am very excited. If done right Israel will have far more diversity that China. Unique domestic ordinance for planes (not just copies like china), domestically modified import tanks, and plenty of home grown ones as well. If it turns out copy and paste I'll eat my words but this has far more potential than china did.
Its going to be very nice seeing new variant tanks such as the M50 "super sherman".
Nice! You just ruined GJN market with this anouncement! Merkava 3D goes down..... :(
This going to have ground vehicles?
Whist the earliest Israeli vehicles probably will be copy-pastes, the later vehicles will not. The Israelis were quick to start modifying the foreign-made equipment they could get. We already have one vehicle of the Magach and one of Sho't series in the game, but there are many more to add. So far we have nothing from the Tiran series of modified captured T-54/T-55's. Eg, the gun was replaced with L7 in later Tirans, and already this alone makes them signficiantly different from the T-54/T-55.
