Photos of the “Beast of Kandahar” have apparently been published in the magazine “Combat Aircraft.” One of the photos was scanned and posted on the Military Photos forum.
Note that the overwing “bumps” really do seem to be main wheel wells, at least in part.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I would like to know more about this platform!
It looks like the nose gear retracts to the right along the leading edge, and if the mains go up but not out it would potentially leave a great big chunk of usable internal volume between them.

At least you can see the air intake on this photo.
The bumps were supposed to hold some sort of sensors, but I sure don’t see any on this photo.
There might be a sensor window just aft of the nose gear bay, and it almost looks like there is a bomb bay aft of that.
