signals Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I'm wondering what the pod on the right intake side is on the Viper here? https://militaryleak.com/2022/01/24/uae-air-force-f-16-destroy-houthi-ballistic-missile-launcher-that-targeted-abu-dhabi/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Interesting. Just had Google Lens try and find it, and there were no hits. Looks similar to the pod carried by Israeli jets to aim the Delilah weapons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Like Matt said, it's a guidance pod for the stand off, missiles 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 (edited) That is what i was guessing; re. Delilah pod I was wondering if I could use the pod that comes with the F-16I weapons kit as a possibility in 1/48? Edited May 23 by signals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 No, as the pod in the F-16 Israeli weapons kit is too big. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Not that am aware of. UAE weapons and pods are not mainstream enough to have a wide market appeal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Given the photo calibration marks on the wing stores, could this be a telemetry pod used for stores release testing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 More interested in the weapons themselves, look like 2000 lbs category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UK PGM-2000 exported to UAE, designated Hakeem there. https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/pgm-500-pgm-2000/ There's also a family of locally developed smart bombs called Al Tariq.

Niels Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 1 hour ago, signals said: Opps...forgot the image https://imgur.com/a/TEYc0xw Some sort of CATM-120C-like training missile, or the shell of one filled with telemetry to monitor release of the weapons during test flights and releases.

Just appeared a bit thicker than one hence the question...thanks! Edited September 24 by signals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 @signals I believe the color tricks you a bit on the thickness. CATM's are usually grey, so not often one sees white ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 (edited) After some search; I think it may be a CDART pod - Camera Data Acquisition Recording Telemetry possible source: https://ibb.co/vCV1Ny3n Now I'm wondering what bomb is loaded onto the plane? Maybe some one who know a bit about TuAF Edited October 14 by signals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
