F-16C Barak II can't carry AGM-88C in inner pylons?

Why is it limited to only 2, unlike the block50 that can carry them in the inner pylons also?

Is it capable of doing so? If so it would be pretty weird

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be the same as the block50. If you want to carry a couple of them in the block40 you have to use 2 of the missile pylons…

I do not even think barak can carry agm88

That’s just the twin seat one, the other one can

I mean IRL

Why?

Because theres is no evidence, at least what I tried to found, of israelis using agm88.

They only use, in recent era, gps guided munitions or ones with terminal IR seeker as Popeye, Rampage or ROCKS.

How else would they do SEAD?

In the past they used agm45 and agm78.

And in recent times:

Yet you can not find any agm88 loadout in the IAF.

What do you mean? Clearly this was an indigenous modification by the US and therefore doesn’t apply to Israeli Falcons (despite direct contradictory information to this statement). Surely it will be corrected in ~3? years.

See US F-16 inboard pylon GPS munitions for reference.
