What are some of the maximum loads for example for the Su-30MK, it has some 12 hardpoints and a weapons load of 8000kg. What hardpoint may be able to accomodate the largest weapon on it. A lot of times we’ve seen for example Su-33s hanging Kh-41s with a weight of 4500kgs, on it’s centreline hardpoint yet many reports state that the max weight is something like 2000kg for a centreline hardpoint on the Flanker. As for the Mig-29M/SMT, would it be able to accomodate for example something like 3 Alfas, 1 on centreline and 2 on inboard wing hardpoints?
