Sadly to this day, no one has been able to clearly explain to me that why do CFTs, which only supposedly carry fuel, need so many access panels. !!!

Albeit, the writing on it says 153 Litres but it doesn't look like a drop tank, more like a pod or even some weapon.....any idea what is the attachment under the wing.

From what I understand, these CFTs are bolted on to the fuselage. You need multiple attachment points both at/near the front and rear of the CFT and possibly middle to ensure the strongest of attachment that can withstand high-g maneuvering. These access panels allow the necessary room to insert and tighten all those bolts to the attachment points. I personally don’t have direct knowledge but from a mechanical point of view this would explain the need of multiple access panels. Specific skin panels are replaced with panels that have attachment mounts. The CFTs have complimentary attachment points that fit snugly with the skin attachment points. Bolts must then be used to lock the arrangement in place.

Found this about the CFT attachment points on the web. In fact it’s a good presentation on Block 52+ changes
