| − | + | With tensions rising in the Arab world, Israel was looking for a new, advanced fighter. After multiple failed deals with the F-86 and F-84, France took the initiative to sell their jets.

With tensions rising in the Arab world, Israel was looking for a new, advanced fighter. After multiple failed deals with the F-86 and F-84, France took the initiative to sell their jets. At first, Israel was set on receiving the new Mystere IV and Mystere II but testing revealed numerous issues with the Mysteres. They were to be grounded until the problems were remedied. As a stop-gap measure, France sent 12 M.D.450 Ouragans to Israel. Although Israel soon received the Mystere IV, they still continued to successfully use the Ouragan as a support fighter and ground striker. Ouragans served well into the 1970s until they were replaced by more superior aircraft; some being sold to El Salvador.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The M.D.450B Ouragan (Israel) is armed with:
- 4 x 20 mm M50 cannons, nose-mounted (125 rpg = 500 total)
Suspended armament
The key distinction between the M.D.450B Ouragan and the M.D.450B Ouragan for France, is that the Israeli modification introduces two additional default ordinance configurations: one with the 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs paired with 8 x T10 140 rockets and the other being the 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs paired with 8 x T10 151 rockets.
The M.D.450B Ouragan (Israel) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
- 16 x T10 140 rockets
- 16 x T10 151 rockets
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs + 8 x T10 140 rockets (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs + 8 x T10 151 rockets (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x Mk.2 incendiary bombs
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent handling and manoeuvrability at low speeds
- Good roll rate against common foes like the F2H2 and F-89s
- Decent ammo capacity for its BR (125 rpg)
- Very good energy retention when turning
Cons:
- Weak engine with mediocre acceleration
- Lacks vertical manoeuvrability
- Inadequate damage output for the 20 mm cannons
- Very high compression at ~900 km/h
