Why cant the F-16AM carry the flare/maw pods on the inner slot?

Could someone explain to me if it is or isn’t possible because I can only see it being an issue of realism when you look at grippy with 732 total countermeasures while having the capability of carrying 6 missiles. Yes the thought behind this is that I would like to have more than 120 countermeasures while keeping my offensive loadout. Most of the times I died in this thing was the cause of running out of flares while flaring off IRCCM missiles.

The pylons are what’s known as dry pylons, which mean they can’t transfer fuel.
So they aren’t able to be used on internal store positions; whether they’re incompatible with the position or doctrine doesn’t allow it.

What’s up with the transfer fuel thing? So fuel is the reason why the system can’t be on the other hardpoint?


Because I don’t see any problem with it since its using the same mounting, how and why would it be interrupting fuel transfer?
