Couple of questions regarding the Tornado and F-18E:
Is the upgraded Tornado GR4 carrying a Litening pod still able to carry 2 1000lb LGBs?
Is it possible to carry the smaller 500lb LGBs in tandem for a maximum of 5 under the fuselage?
Or is it even possible with the larger bombs?
How many Harpoon missiles is the SH able to carry? Should be no problem for the 4 inner wing pylons, but what about the outer pylons? The Harpoon is 520kg while I have read once those stations are only rated for 1000lb.
Also, the 1000lb class guided weapons are generally heavier than 1000lb. Would be intersting to know if those can be carried there.
