It is possible that the IAF were also carrying ALE-40 or similar
locally produced chaff/flare dispensers. The ALE-40 blisters on the
trailing edge of the side of the pylon might have been the problem for
the shoulder mounted AIM-9s.


Ed, the Luftwaffe use shoulder pylons and ALE-40 on their F-4Fs seemingly
without issue FWIW. . .
