The last time i checked no Israeli fighter aircraft had a Popeye loadout in CMANO. I think its a no brainer that they have this capability but i have no picture to prove it (only US F-16s with Have Naps...)

I went back to my books... attached is a picture of a F-15I with the Popeye missile and a Skyshield targeting pod. I think this confirms that the pod is used to control missiles.
Or the pod just happens to look exactly like the jamming pod...

Totally forgot about that one.

Hm yeah Australian F-111s used an identically looking pod...

Is it dual role, or is the hardware and/or software different? Hmm....

Loooks like its indeed dual role.

The Israeli name for the transmitter configuration should be DL-2000, according to an old thread on f-16.net at least:

How about adding two Deliliah loadout options in Command.
A loadout with the pod gives you the ability to change the course of the missile in flight (i belive you added this capability while back?).
Without the pod (and a centerline fuel tank instead) the Delilah is just your a basic fire and forget AtG weapon.


And while we are talking about pods - please consider adding jamming pods loadouts for the IAF. My first link on skyshield includes a real life picture of an F-16 carrying the system (according to Rafael at least).

A very similiar system from IAI, the ELL-8251 might be in use as well. This link includes a picture on what looks like an israeli F-16:

Also if you look further, the included pdf file mentiones the system can be carried internally. I personally believe this system to be a good bet for the dorsal spine of the Sufas, but no concrete info on that of course.
In any case, you generally don’t fly business jets into defended airspace.
