Its not just divide and multiply. There are also other factors like airframe strength , speed, fuel capacity/range and may be other. I doubt LCA is equipped with M brahmos.the payload of LCA Mk1 is 4 tonnes
expected payload of LCA Mk2 is 5.5. to 6 tonnes
minimum 30% load on inner wing pylon is standard on all aircrafts
30% of 6 tonnes is 2 tonnes
30% of 5.5 tonnes is 1.65 tonnes
Brahmos M is supposed to be 1.5 tonnes +150 kg for attachments etc
2 brahmos M on 2 inner pylons = 3 tonnes which still leaves 2.5-3 tonnes for other weapons + fuel tanks
also consider the navy is gunjho about both Naval LCA and Brahmos M
trust them to have this in thier sights
