Weapon Load Question: F-14, MiG-27, al.

Some questions regarding external weapon configurations.

F-14A/D
is understood to fly CAP with
4x MR-AAM and 4x SR-AAM
and fleet defense with
2x SR-AAM, 3x MR-AAM, 2x LR-AAM
Correct so far?

SR is sidewinder, MR is Sparrow/AMRAAM and LR of course Phoenix.
Of course, other load outs are possible, but I just would like to have a fairly common one.

Do I assert correctly that the tanks are all “subsonic”?

How is load-out for interdiction /strike missions? Only the forward fuselage station is used for payload, and there primarily for 2x 2000lbs. Correct?
Any additional stuff behind that in the fuselage channel?
Again, I am looking for a typical load.

MiG-27 or MiG-23BN
How is payload attached here?
I guess they have only wing root and two fuselage pylons, and the centerline, which I guess is occupied for external fuel pretty much always.
Is the MiG-27 “nuclear”, if yes, where is The Bomb put (centerline, asymmetric)?

Thanks for any advise, links to pictures warmly appreciated, too.
