No what
The MRIU is the unit that provides the missile with control signals, power control, status management, launch, and other controls until the missile is launched. It then sends back the status of the missile to the CIU. This is installed at every station where air-to-air missiles are mounted.
Yes. “It will be installed in every station that will carry air-to-air missiles.” Whether in the wings or in the weapon bay.

MRIU to perform DL? Is it on the J/ARG-1?
It is just a unit that manages the status of the missile and performs the process up to launch.

Yes, that’s for sure. …If Gaijin doesn’t admit it.

Yeah, all known sources testify to four ASMs
What’s the point of discussing the correctness of ASMs if in the game they are useless garbage that doesn’t even work on ships? If the snail doesn’t care, then why should we?

Right so this whole MRIU business, from what I can see the document covers 2x MRIU’s loaned for testing on the F-2A.
Now I’m not sure on the 1:1 relationship with AMRIU and MRIU’s in general but it appears they are interfaced at a 1x per pylon level and if there was for example a photo with F-2A carrying 4x live MRAAM. Then per this doc the pylon must have a MRIU in the pylon as that is how it interfaces with the weapons computer;

The point is to strictly strengthen the system, and to do things that don’t matter to weaken it.
In the end, everything was done on speculation. Six iconic ASMs and two data links. There’s no reason to stay with the four outdated MRMs. Or, they will all be united into four.
That is, MRM is allowed for six SIUs, according to the MRIU documentation
Like this one? It is F-2B but since twin seater has less capabilities overall I think it is safe to assume F-2A would have at the very least the same

Also I don’t remember loadout option from first dev but there are photos of inert GBU-38 on station 2 which I believe was only reserved for AAM-3 on dev. But it is an ADTW vehicle and they might have all sorts of crazy loadouts
This is the photo I have used on the report.

I thought same first seconds but it is illusion. SRM pylon is empty and GBU attached to standart pylon
On Ru dev stream was said that any IIR A-A missile (which AAM-5 is) should be expected much later with more modern planes so nothing unexpected

I mean, even AAM-3 doesn’t has it’s seeker head modeled, expecting AAM-5 was delusional
