SD-10

No, The other one beside the SD 10s. haven't seen that missile before

F-16 could do it because AIM-9's weight difference with AIM-120 is not that high. Same is not true of PL-5/PL-12.

 

[Falcon34]

does anyone know about the missile besides the two sd 10s, in the picture above.

Blue training SD-10 rounds. I guess they wanted to over emphasize on the dual carriage capability by different colours, or they just did not want to mount two live rounds side by side, yet. Early testing phase may be.
