Fighter jets are the most advance battle power house on the field....Katyushas compared to F-16s is completely different.......
Here's your default load on-board a jet that's supposed to engage in A-to-G targets:
4 Wing tips [Sidewinders/Harpoons]
8 A-to-A [could be anything from AMRAAMs to Aim-9s]
anything upto 20 A-to-G bombs [could be anything from Mavericks-JDAMs]
1000 rounds of auxillary [100mm cannon]
And compare that to a few rockets.......With rough precision.....
