      guys. notice the protruding blisters/bulges either side of the intake of the F-16Ds? they're fairly large and significant. at first glance i thought they might be HTS, but we don't have HARMs, and HTS is totally different anyway - a pod on its own, not a blister.

      i wonder what they're for.

      the same blisters are present on Israeli Delta-52s, but not on the Hellenic AF 52Ds nor the UAE blk 60s.

      perhaps EW equipment of some sort? but those are supposed to be in the dorsal spine.

      no not those! im referring to the blisters on the LEFT and RIGHT sides of the intake. the F-16Ds have big blisters while Cs have only the navigation light. just about where the HTS is on USAF F-16s.

      Did anyone notice that inert versions of both the AIM-7 Sparrow (on the F-16C) and the AIM-120C AMRAAM (on the F-16D) were shown in the pictures? Interesting…...
