Was ist das für ein Pod (mit der orangen Spitze) unter der rechten Tragfläche ?

Was ist das für ein Pod (mit der orangen Spitze) unter der rechten Tragfläche ?
Frachtbehälter ? (pers. Gegenstände der Besatzung, Papierkram zum Flugzeug, Papierkram für Flugplanung, ...)

Sind eigentlich nur die Jets runter nach Sizilien geflogen, oder fliegt die Wartungsmanschaft mit ?

Wie sieht es mit den Waffen aus ? Wenn die lokal vorhandenen Waffen kompatibel mit der "fremden" Maschine ist, werden die lokalen (also italienischen) Waffen verwendet, oder muss jedes Land seine Waffe selbst mit bringen ?
Wenn selbst mitbringen, darf man diese per Luft transportieren ? Oder muss es auf den Landweg geschehen ?

Bekannt wurde bisher nur ein Abschuss einer Galeb durch einen französischen Jet, alle anderen Flugzeuge der libyschen Luftwaffe scheinen sich brav am Boden zu halten und wurden wenn, dann auch dort zerstört.

Ist das eigentlich der erste "Kampfeinsatz" der Typhoon, oder setzen die Brits ihn auch über A-Stan ein? Wenn letzteres, wann war der der erste Kampfeinsatz?

Hat jemand Informationen, wieso die Norweger sowohl AIM-9 als auch Iris-T an ihren F-16 nutzen?
