When Russias behaviour became more and more aggressive against the West, the german government decided to increase the numbers of fighter planes by realignment of 12 new fighter squadrons, what means 480 new planes. To hold the costs as low as possible the german government decided for a licence production of the HAL Tejas, equipped with european engine EJ-200 and german weapons. The plane got the name "Orkan". 12 month after the decision the first Orkan fighters were delivered to the fighter squadrons.

Sorry, one of my laziest yet. Probably will spend more time writing the post than making this. 

In the early 40s, many of the factions who supported Franco during the Spanish Civil War had become disenchated, seeing Spain as subservient towards Nazi Germany, seeing no signs of restoration and watching other fascist dictatorships fail, and by 1944, with the Allies landing in Normandy and making a German intervention all but impossible, took the opportunity ousted the General in favour of Juan III, heir of Alfonso XIII, last king before the Republic, which in turn reinstated a constitutional monarchy, who joined the Allies against Germany, although by that time and still in poor condition after the war, there wasn't much Spain could do to contribute to the Allied war effort other than seasoned veterans and new supply and attack routes. Having been trained by the Royal Navy, Juan III was considered  an Anglophile, and during the efforts to rebuild the country after the war, the Gloster Meteor became the first jet fighter of the Spanish Air Force, seeing combat in Korea and Western Sahara.

Stock F8, Syrian camo with arab numerals replaced with the Israeli ones. It really took me more time to come up with the alternate story than getting the skin.

 

Edit: Just felt like I had to add some more.

After Korea, it was clear the Meteor was useful but obsolescent, and a new fighter was needed. While the Hawker Hunter was promising, it was the Canadair Sabre Mk6 that was selected

This is my FrankenSabre. I couldn't stop getting the proper Mk6 to stall and spin, but the F-86F40 was foolproof enough to me, so I copy-pasted an Orenda on it along with a ton of other things. It has so many mismatched parts I can't credit properly, but to name a few, Zur, Wrench, PauloPanz... The skin was Ethiopian, I think, but could be Iranian or South African  It is indeed Strahi's Ethiopia, butchered a bit. I just had several generic looking ones made to save space.

if you did any changes, you can credit original to .... whoever and yourself with the changes. i read deep in the archives something about 1 pixel making it different (think it was when i was working decals for the TW Phantom camos). but i dont claim it until i hit about 10000 pixels myself, and try to always credit the original all the same
