Well, not sure whats that

Can you point out where I’m supposed to look at πŸ™‚

i have no clue what they used it for as IRL the gr7 never had guns on it

Under the belly

I think its just a 25mm ADEN pod with a cover on. Doesnt look like a Targetting pod or a Joint reconnaissance pod. Not sure what else could even be fitted on the underside

Well, as it had no guns, it is to keep the aerodynamics and weight centre in the right space

Thats a better photo, no idea

Yeah but their is no gun in the pod

i can’t read that

The empty pods need to be there to allow for VTOL, airflow etc.
They are part of the lift system used when hovering near the ground and function by creating a space to trap some of the exhaust that bounces back up from the the ground.

i cant figure out why they had like what was the use everything i find is just speculation

Then why did they stop using the pods later

looks like guns were never added in these pods

They used Tpod and CMpod, they work the same way when it comes to airflow, that is also why when you remove the pods you need the blades

Yeah the Gr7 and Gr9 never had guns but did have empty pods
