Finally something new, 500lb bombs with the Israeli Griffin LGB kit, sadly no twin launcher, but the space between the fuel tank and the R73 looks pretty limited anyway.

With a drop tank in place on the inner station I don't think a twin launching rack is feasible with such large PGMs. SPICE 250 on the other hand.......

There were reports about twin launchers for smaller bombs going to come, PSG even claimed Rafales triple launchers would be used.
Spice 250 is even smaller than the 500lb LGB in the pic, but then why use twin launchers at the wings instead of using a quadlauncher at the centerline and freeing the mid wingstations for BVR missiles. That's actually the best option LCA can have, using such small 250lb bombs from the centerline instead of remaining in old fashioned heavy LGB configs.

Something along the 8 SDB loadout for the F-16 or the rumoured 16 FT-5 loadout for the J-10. Remember the fictional idea I posted on the other thread, it would be interesting how the effectiveness of the LCA as a platform multiplies in such a conflict with the ability to hit multiple targets in one go.

Also, can they decide on whether they want it dark grey or light grey??

@Abingdonboy , @sancho : Guys I did just a cursory analysis of the prototype and the LSP-1. The attachment has few differences highlighted. I am a noob in aviation, could anyone explain them ??

Jaago Nomi payare!!!
