You’re welcome. That’s what we’re all here to do…learn new things.
Now here’s some food for thought….
I came across the following photo, but I don’t have any details about it other than it appears to be a Chinese Q-5 of some variation and the LGB in question is mounted on the inboard wing hardpoint where rocket pods are typically fitted.
If the aircraft is fitted with a pair of LGB’s on these locations, then room is left for the larger 200 US-gallon auaxiliary tanks which obviously increases range.
The question is though……can operational Q-5L’s carry LGB’s on these inner pylons?
To my knowledge China doesn’t have a 500-lb. class laser-guided bomb at the moment though the weapon in the photo certainly seems to fit that description.
What do you guys make of this particular photo?
Actually this is not a photo but a really brilliant CG made by “Songbird” and that LGB is at least IMO a hypothetical one hung under it, since the full CG shows a Q-5D and when it was done there were only rumours available about the intention to equip the Fantan with LGB’s.
