What exactly was limiting weapon pylons' number so much in pre-4.5gen fighters? Wiring?
Can modern pylons be linked by simple USB ports so that can carry weapons up to their physical weight holding limit?
kind of having reading comprehension problem here. Not a big fun of rocket artillery for the reasons described but what I don't seem to understand from what you are saying is wether modern guidance methods per rocket are cheaper than the rocket itself. Also would not guidance make rockets technically missiles?
