You seems to be the one with the eye sight problem...I counted two gravity bombs...without the sidewinder...The picture that I put there had 2 gravity bombs with sidewinders.....What are you trying to prove,by posting new pictures of an F-16 with one free fall bomb under each wing.?
I'm showing you what free fall munitions look like under the pylon of an F-16 something you evidently have no clue on. Either way it is irrelevant, fighters carrying out close air support or strikes against ground targets will carry air to air missiles i.e Sidewinder etc. etc. in case of an air to air engagement, that is only if they are not escorted by other aircraft carrying air to air munitions only.
This video further illustrates my point. In Afghanistan US F-16s conduct Close Air Support with an armament of GBUs and air to air missiles even though the Taliban do not have an air force. At 2:39 it is incredibly obvious.
You want to tell us that your F16 are not capable of launching intelligent ammunition? Every PDF here knew...I don't know if you knew that or not...
I have already debunked your claims a million times but for the sake of this thread....
To the left and right of the central pod (AN/ALQ-131 B11) is the LANTIRN (low altitude navigation and infra red for night).
Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night, or LANTIRN, is a combined
navigation and
targeting pod system for use on the
USAF's premier fighter aircraft — the
F-15E Strike Eagle and
F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block 40/42 C & D models). LANTIRN significantly increases the combat effectiveness of these aircraft, allowing them to fly at low altitudes, at night and under-the-weather to
attack ground targets with a variety of precision-guided weapons.
The AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod provides high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night and in adverse weather. The navigation pod also contains a terrain-following radar and a fixed infrared sensor, which provides a visual cue and input to the aircraft's flight control system, enabling it to maintain a pre-selected altitude above the terrain and avoid obstacles. This sensor displays an infrared image of the terrain in front of the aircraft, to the pilot, on a Head-Up Display. The navigation pod enables the pilot to fly along the general contour of the terrain at high speed, using mountains, valleys and the cover of darkness to avoid detection. The pod was the USAF's first wide-field, forward-looking infrared navigation system for air-superiority fighters.
The AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod contains a high-resolution, forward-looking infrared sensor (which displays an infrared image of the target to the pilot), a laser designator/rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions, a missile boresight correlator for automatic lock-on of the AGM-65 Maverick imaging infrared missiles, and software for automatic target tracking. These features simplify the functions of target detection, recognition and attack and permit pilots of single-seat fighters to attack targets with precision-guided weapons on a single pass. A downgraded version for export with the AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile compatibility deleted is designated asAN/AAQ-19 Sharpshooter.

To the left of the Captain is a Paveway laser guided munition.

The pod incorporates a multi-spectral sensor capability with a high-resolution, medium-wave third-generation
FLIR and a
CCD-TV. Advanced sensors, combined with advanced image processing algorithms and rock-steady stabilization produce target identification ranges that permit operations minimizing exposure to many threat systems. The dual-mode laser offers an eye safe mode for urban combat and training operations, along with a laser-guided bomb designation laser for guiding in these precision munitions.

I won't state the M2K and Mirage III Horus capabilities for brevity but they also operate PGMs (or as you like to call it intelligent ammunition) and targeting pods.
The latest F-16 B52 deal includes the procurement of JDAMs for the EAF.
Guided munitions and targeting pods from 00:59 to 01:05 and again at 01:13 to 01:20 but that's just photoshopping an entire bloody video isn't it?
Ripped from f16.net operator profiles:-
Together with the 5th order, Egypt decided to modify older F-16C/D aircraft in-country through Engineering Change Proposals detailing requirements for the installation and integration of HARPOON and GBU-15 weapons capability, aircraft radar modifications and other related elements of program support. Principal contractors for the upgrade program will be McDonnell Douglas, St. Louis, Mo.; Rockwell International, Tactical Systems Division, Duluth, Ga. and the Westinghouse Electronic Systems Group, Baltimore, M.D.
All aircraft in the Block 15 and 32 series have been or will be upgraded with most Block 40/42 features, thus retaining the Pratt&Whitney F-100 engines and the small inlet ducts. As a consequence, every Egyptian F-16 (Block 15, 32 or 40) can accommodate the LANTIRN-system (they have been modified with the holographic HUD) giving them full autonomous laser weapon handling (i.e. GBU-15's,
AGM-65D's). Together with the 6th deal, a batch of AGM-88 missiles was also delivered for usage on the block 40 airframes.

But, f-16.net and Lockheed Martin are both photoshop, right?
Absolute dullard.
Even the F-4 Phantom came with the Paveway series of munitions.
00:49 to 00:59 the F-4 Phantom dropping Paveways on a target (F-4 has been retired) and 02:10 to 02:13 you can clearly see Paveways being dropped from -16s as they had been throughout the exercise.
Exercise "Magd 12"
All F-16s delivered to Egypt via the Peace Vector program were built, none of the delivered were refurbished aircraft.
Peace Vector I
On June 25, 1980, Egypt signed a letter of agreement to acquire 42
block 15 F-16A/B fighters (34 single-seaters and 8 two-seaters) under the
Peace Vector IFMS (Foreign Military Sales) program. The first F-16 was accepted by the
Al Quwwat al Jawwiya Ilmisriya (Egyptian Air Force) during a ceremony at Fort Worth in January of 1982, with the first six planes arriving in Egypt on March 16th of that year. F-16B
#9207 was rather exceptional,
as it was built by Fokker in The Netherlands.
Peace Vector IV
A contract to produce 46 Block 40 F-16C/D's for the Egyptian Air Force was placed with TUSAS Aerospace Industries (TAI) of
Turkey. 34 of them will be F-16C's, 12 will be F-16D's. This was carried out under the auspices of the
Peace Vector IV program, and marked the first sale of a foreign-built Fighting Falcon to a third-party nation in the history of the F-16 program. The first aircraft was delivered in early 1994, and deliveries continued into 1995
. All but one of the earlier F-16s for Egypt had originated on the Lockheed/General Dynamics production line at Fort Worth.
Peace Vector V
n May 1996 the governments of Egypt and the United States signed an agreement providing for the sale of 21 new F-16C/D Block 40 aircraft to the Egyptian air force. The contract is worth $670 million. That is Egypt's fifth order of F-16s over the last fifteen years. The new Egyptian aircraft will be manufactured in Fort Worth. Deliveries begin in 1999.
LMTAS' Fort Worth plant began building the first of these 21 F-16s in 1999.
Peace Vector VI
On March 6th of that same year, the United States agreed to sell Egypt $3.2 billion worth of
new American weapons, including 24 F-16 Block 40 aircraft, 200 M-1A1 tanks and 32 Patriot missiles.
Peace Vector VII
On December 24th, 2009 the US signed a contract with Egypt for the delivery of 20
new F-16s under the known Peace Vector series.

The 4000th F-16 built was for the Egyptian Air Force. So, yeah, now there's literally nothing you can say that will prove your assertions. Photoshop shmotoshop!
You are in bad need for that kind of craft even , after you judged and described the one in the AAF decrepit, and Russian tech outdated... look right now who is crawling back to Boris.
You have comprehension issues.
P.S You're still a massive joke.
but we want to sit with men
and they are a lot more "in" with the fashion world and what make Paris ticks than any of your countrymen.
RIP Montesquieu..
