Nice IAF pic.......Ready to roll :-)

[IDFM203]

On the IAF website they have their weekly images and I thought that this weeks pic was a beautiful pic that highlighted the vast array of different armaments (I believe most are Israeli made) that we have so I decided to share it here.

Are they flying over the poor occupied peoples of the Zionist regime?

Are they flying over the poor occupied peoples of the Zionist regime?ok I know that wasn’t any “hostile” comment or whatnot, but I ask if we can leave any of that sort of comments out for in this section (the photos one that we are in) I think should be limited to military conversations only and let the BS squabbling and off kilter remarks reserved for the general section, if one feels the urge to go down that road.

Shalom :D

Odd that they're keeping AIM-9's out on station 1 & 9. Is the Python IV (or V) too heavy for the wingtips?

Boeing just recently sold the JDAM to IS didn't it?

[Fintin]

good pic...israel seems like such a beautiful country...sad that it in the conflict it is

[oldsoak]

Any idea why the mix of sidwinders and python 4 ? Surely it would be better to have all python 4 ?

Great Pic!

No, it's the Negev in the picture, but they probably also fly over the west bank because this country is very small and in 30 minuets you cal fly from the north to the south.

P.S. Just a nice info: From the highest building in Israel, in a good day you can see the highest mountain in the Golan hights (the Hermon mountain) and the borader with Syria.

Nice picture IDFM203.

Could be a "publicity shot" to display the armament range (remember, it is the Official IAF site). Do not brain storm too much ;)

I think wyrm got it right; the Python IV is larger and heavier than the AIM-9 (you can tell from the picture). In fact the Python is already so big that the Derby is the same size.

That said, F-16s routinely carry AIM-120s on their wingtip stations so I actually have no idea.

Israeli F-16s dont use the AIM-120, only the new F-16I will.

[DLodge]

This is true. But I was speaking about F-16s in general...

Disclaimer : I have no idea what are you talking about , I am forwarding message of a good fellow who knows his **** .

[DLodge]

And here is a pic of a USAF F-16 carrying heavier AMRAAMs outboard of AIM-9s. So who knows...
