Isnt it a system that adds the drag of the pylon to the drag of the weapon? So that if youbedpend or jettison the weapon the pylon adds no drag?
No, for example… the F-14 would be limited to subsonic speed with six phoenix missiles at sea level but in-game it can still easily go mach 1.1+ at sea level. This is because pylon mounted ordnance has little drag and they do not tune them per aircraft.

There is, but not as much as it was irl. Like for example, I’m pretty sure the gripen has its top speed lowered to Mach 1.4 when carrying missiles irl, but in game it can still go 2000km+ with missiles on

In-game loadouts drag is incredibly bad implemented, probably way lower than it should be on most weapons.
Currently, most AA missile have similar drag.
A huge external fuel tank has a ridiculous low drag penalty, lower than any missile.
A bunch of mavericks have less parasitic drag than a single aim-9 somehow
