I'm building a scale model of a Sufa and like to finish it fitted out for a long distance strike mission. Makes a nice contrast next to a clean configured F-16 FSD in GD company colors. About 30 years evolution of a type!

However, I'm faced with two questions:
1. Weapons carried; against a moderately hardened target, would a Sufa carry 2 GBU-31(V)3/B JDAMs or 1 GBU-31 and 1 GBU-24?

2. Let's say the distance for a round-trip is 2000mls /3200km and there is expected fighter opposition, how would the Sufa be configured?

2X AMRAAM, 2X Python IV, 2X 2000lb GBU, 2X 600gallon tanks and CFT's, or instead of the 600gallon tanks 2X 370 gallon wing tanks and a 300 gallon centerline tank?

I have NO idea of the range of a Blk 52 F-16D in it's different fuel configurations, so any help about that is welcome! I mean, even if fitted out to it's max weight, the thing must still be a fighting platform and not handle like an airliner, right?

Thanks for your insights, cheers,
Erik.

CFTs and 600 gals tanks wouldn't be used at that point. Probably just the CFTs and the 370 gal tanks.

But really, just check your references. See which loadout is closest, and go with that.

Loadout for a long distance F-16I Sufa strike mission.
