Quite a wild loadout, I would say. But only 1x 480 USG Drop Tank may result in short combat radius.

Looks like Real Clear Defense got pretty close in 2018 in their SM-6 analysis.

Absolute beast. Can't wait to see J-16's PL-17 heavy loadout (Not current heavy mix with PL-15)! We have witnessed the 4x VLRAAM loadout on Rhino and Su-30SM2.
