Hi! that triple rack (TER-9A) is able to turn into missile launcher after being attached with LAU-127, LAU-128 and LAU-129 (should be LAU-129 cuz its for the F16) and its able to carried most of the air to air munitions in the world and it has been approved by the Marvin Group which is the manufacturer of those rack.
I believe that this rack do exist because they had been shown multiple times in Lockheed Martins rendered Image and Marvins Group have collaboration with Lockheed Martin. Meanwhile there is a similar thing called TMLA also being mentioned in the armed sales contract between Lockheed Martin and Türkiye which is cancel later due to Türkiye decided to upgrade their F16 fleet by using their own upgrading plan and not using the plan from Lockheed Martin.
But this will be the proof that the related technologies have already been test and being able to use
since it is not possible that US government will approved a sales of an item have never exist.
Even tho we dont have real footage of the MML(Multiple Munition Launcher) or the TMLA (Triple Missile Launcher Adapters) but there is multiple evidence showed that the related technology do exist.
Hey. Unfortunately there is no proof of testing. The order was placed, but nothing materialised thus far.
All of the above information has already been seen and is known to the devs. They are seeing for more than just renders and cancelled orders as it stands.
They increased AIM-120D’s weight by 1kg (still implementing the only report out there on the AIM-120D) and they significantly buffed Derby-ER which I covered in this post:
Definitely superior to r-74m2 or 74m at least in terms of seekerhead capability
(-r-74m2 has ±60 degree seekerhead gimbal limit before launch, ±75 degrees after launch, and has ±90 degree launch capability thought through iog+datalink)
R-74m:
Spoiler
It needs the Digital TER-9A, not just any TER-9A. Regular TER-9A doesn’t have MIL-STD-1760 connectors
The digital one has a new module on the back with 3 large 1760 32-pin umbilicals to connect to the stores
The normal TER-9A just has basic 26 pin or 23 pin connectors for things like Hydra, located in front of the rear fairing. Where the holes are in the above Digital one
The USAF opted for BRU-57 as a digital ejector rack for JDAM instead of putting JDAM on TER-9A. The USMC has a digital TER (BRU-70/A) with 1760 connections, but it’s only for JDAM carriage on Harrier and doesn’t use the aerodynamic fairings for F-16 carriage
So the status of digital TERs for F-16 is a bit unknown
