Yes that side bay is intriguing, but the geometry of the inlet and airframe at that point is complicated, plus the needs of the weapon release. A simple rail lunch bay for SRAAM/MRAAM would just need the side to open, but not the bottom as it does on the rear part. Maybe bot small bombs can be released, and AAMs can be rail launched from it. It does not seem trivial in any case.It would be uncharacteristic and outright dumb to organize this fuss and then not having a basic level of approval / funding to carry the project forward. If over MAKS no customers shows serious interest, they dump the thing? There is a lot of work already invested in this design, for sure, and it has a serious potential
