Do you mean CFT ? That's conformal fuel tank, somekind of additional fuel tanks attached to each side of fighter jets to increase the range though reduce the aerodynamics compared with traditional external fuel tanks.
Everyone say f-16 (and any other fighter) with CFT can bring more fuel without compromising anything. But I don't fully believe that.Conformal Fuel Tank, or CFT, or Punuk as it is popularly called here. A way to further extend the plane's endurance and fuel capacity while not fucking up with the design too much, also a showcase of "modularity" that is a hot thing these days.
Like a "jungkat-jungkit", if you add something new that will bring some effect, that will bring some compromise on other aspect too.
@Cromwell wow, I love that camo. Why we stop using that?
