Lockheed Martin disagrees with you

Its the same amount of proof for a new seeker and new missile as kh38

[Mytho-GR1]

No?

There is no confirmation of a KH-38MT launch and is now not even metioned in there marketing

So if these helicopters are able to get the JAGM even though it’s not currently compatible, what’s stopping the AHS, and other hellfire platforms from getting them?

Hey. JAGM has been integrated on AH-64E and is avalable via software upgrades. We have many vehicles akin to this in game.

AHS is an AH-64A variant, entirely far detached from just a simple software update and massively out of the timeframe from when Sweden tested the Apache.

integrated on AH-64E and is avalable via software upgrades.

But it’s been integrated on V6, not the V4 or V1. Yes software upgrades can make compatibile but it doesn’t only mean it’s limited to any 64E platform.

As per the brochure

Compatible with all JAGM user platforms, as well as HF/Longbow platforms with software updates

Hence why I said technically any Apache or hellfire platforms can be given the JAGM.

Vehicles that received upgrades get the weapon systems its compatible with
Or
Vehicles that have yet to recieve upgrades get the weapon system its compatible with?

For me this is where the issue lies. I don’t see a standard here.

It’s quite obvious that yes, the 64A needs more them just a simple software upgrade but the same thing can be said about 64EV1 and 64EV4. Both version are massively different from V6.

So what makes it any different from the 64A or other HL platforms?

How many years does it take for something to be “out of the timeframe”?

Currently no AH-64A has been integrated with JAGM and there is no evidence they can be without modifications to D/E standard.

The standard is quite simple. Our AHS is based on the Swedish trialed AH-64A. As this was the only possible advanced attack helicopter they could receive other than the trialed MI-28.

The AHS is nowhere near the timeframe of JAGM and the AH-64A currently has no evidence of JAGM integration. So sadly the AHS has already been stretched to its theoretical max.
