  2. nice to see them finally carrying AIM-9 X not only M and L

  3. I am no expert, so I had to look this up: “The **GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb** (**SDB**) is a 250-pound (110 kg) [precision-guided](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision-guided_munition) [glide bomb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_bomb) that is intended to allow aircraft to carry a greater number of smaller, more accurate bombs. Most [US Air Force aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Air_Force_aircraft) will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack[^([16])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-39_Small_Diameter_Bomb#cite_note-16)) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000-pound (910 kg) [Mark 84 bomb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_84_bomb). It first entered service in 2006. The [Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Launched_Small_Diameter_Bomb) (GLSDB) was later developed to enable the SDB to be launched from a variety of ground launchers and configurations.”

  4. Aim-9x on the right wing, aim-9m on the left wing. I wonder why use both at the same time.

  6. Maybe it’s just the angle but it looks like an AIM-9X on the right side and a AIM-9M on the left side. Interesting.

  7. I have this exact loadout on my F16 right now on warthunder lol

  8. Need a badass to go rogue and get as deep to the kremlin as possible 

  9. I believe these f-16 are not equipped with the electronics needed to shoot the aim-120 long range.
