Interesting, confirm for this new aircraft bombs he can carry, all ? but the more interesting he can have 2 x 1500 kg under engines then remains 10 others hard points and the 8 t payload seems low, inexact and maybe ~ 10 t sometimes i have read 12 t can really make sense for an aicraft of 45 t ! and with the F-15E 36t can carry 10,4 t.

Beautiful airplane, and despite the opinions of those who don't understand what an upgrade this is to the basic Flanker, it will as of today display out-standing and irrefutable air-superiority over its many predecessors!
