The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

One of our jets (Gr7) was brimstoned up for a hangar trial prior to Maverick arriving. Looked mean but the 'leaping heap' probably wouldn't have got airborne with that many. ;)
They don't weigh to much actually and they pack a serious punch! Around 400-500kg for 3 missiles and launcher rack.

The outrigger sidewinder rail is available in both Harriers, AV-8B/GR´s , it´s a design feature used by UK only (Spain and Italy don´t use it as well, mainly because they are based on the US AV-8B) the same way US opted for the GAU-12 gun pod while UK kept the ADEN twin set (which at the end they couldn´t use since the expended cartridges kept bumping on the fuselage).

Same design, same features, different views on how to use it

 

So the outrigger sidewinder pylon will be available in the DCS module?

 

Huzzah!

Not in the AV-8B

What makes you say that? They are a legitimate option. Seldom used, sure, but still legitimate.

Never is a very strong word my friend. Usually when used it is incorrectly applied.

In this case it is correctly applied.

 

The outrrigger pylons are not authorized for carriage in U.S. aircrafts. The capability exists but it is not used and very likely never will be used on the US AV-8B.
