The inner ones are LAMS-7 and the outer ones are LAMS-6. LAMS-6 are liscense produced variants of the Frazer-Nasch CRL (Common Rail Launcher).
Thanks.
I was trying to figure it out so I could do this
*The fuel tank pylons are also LAMS-7, just an extended configuration, I vaguely recall them being called LAMS-7B but I dont remember confidently. I meant LAMS-6 were the SRM pylons.
The pylon incorporates a BRU-47. The BRU-47 carries missile launchers, ASMs, bombs, fuel tanks, and other equipment. When carrying the AAM-4 and AIM-7, the LAMS-7 missile launcher is attached to that BRU-47; when carrying the AAM-3 and AIM-9, the LAMS-6 is attached.
Oh that’s what I was talking about. I thought you meant the inboard fuel pylons were the LAMS-6 and the outboard ones were the LAMS-7. Okay, so the inboard fuel pylons are the LAMS-7B, the outboard ones are the LAMS-7, and everything goes on the LAMS-7 or LABS-7B with the BRU-47/A bomb release unit. Then just the IR AAMs go on the LAMS-6 (btw what are the missile rails on the wingtips and the ones mounted on the LAMS-6?).
One other question, is the BRU-47/A considered part of the LAMS-7 pylon, or is it considered seperate and mounted in the LAMS-7? I know on a technical level it is mounted into the LAMS-7. But I mean in terms of how it is classified, does the classification of LAMS-7 include the BRU-47/A, or is the BRU-47/A considered seperate and just mounted to the LAMS-7? Also, for radar-guided missiles, there is a missile rail mounted to the BRU-47/A. What is that?
This also means you end up with the weird situation for the triple bomb racks of a BRU-33/A triple ejector rack mounted on a BRU-47/A bomb rack mounted on a LAMS-7 pylon.
