Factually, I do think that both three external dropable fuel tank and eight missiles could be carried on M4000 because we can see a wide range between
the inside pylon and outside pylon, where is enough to arrange one middle pylon.
On the other hand, there is no more weapon could be carried on Mig-29VOT than other type of Mig-29
Emile stop arguing your point re the Mig’s hardpoints. Just do some internet research, confirm that I am right re the three underwing plus wingtip
and be done with it.
Also, yes the Mirage could carry two extra BVR missiles, just as the Mig could. Could and would are not the same. The more you carry, the lower
performance.
