If kh38 doesn't affect balance, then what else does?

There is also ASM-1, ASM-1C, ASM-2, ASM-2B and ASM-3, all of them are capable of ground attack to some extent.

We need all of them

Can someone research up on this? Does anything like it exist?

They should just say
“Brimstone can fire outside our beloved Pantsir range with FnF and with radar seekers it will be too easy against our beloved Pantsir”
yep that what they should say

You ignore the F-35 which is, everywhere

yes,they are russian thunder!

Challenge.

There are reasons why nobody use KH-38ML, you fire it in 20km, and you need to fly steadly towords enemy to guide it in SM3 or SU-34, you will get too close before you hit the target, unless you fly in less than 300KPH speed, so throw a KH-38 MT in 12km is a better choice.
But now you can do it with Brimstone, the only problem is you will engage pantsir, and Tornado’s poor mobility.

I literally wrote stealth bomber as you wrote,the F-35 is a multirole aircraft which is entirely different.

Besides,the F-35 is still american designed and mainly American produced,the fact that every country has it doesn’t mean that every country invested into developing stealth aircraft

It has IOG doesn’t it?
You can LOAL for the laser and start safe in the meanwhile

Assuming range is correct, and if not assuming range is fixed, then Brimstone will be capable of that yes.

It has the ability to bomb, while being stealth, that was my point.

It’s very hard to do so, and waste time, risky of lost target, besides SM3 has only gen1 thermal, can’t see things clear in that range.

The new su34 wont be a bad platform

22500kg empty, 5000kg fuel necessary for ground battles, 8000kg+ necessary for air battles, same engines as Su-27 which weighs 6000kg less.

Unless you mean weapons which yeah it’ll be good. Not better than NATO options obviously, but still good enough.

good enough to be a F-16C equal in top

The fact still stands: the USA is the main producer of Stealth Aircrafts with part of the specs public

Russia’s Su-57 can barely function as a 4th gen aircraft and China’s J-20 is on par with the F-22 but 99% of its specs are secret

They do not even allow something different exists!

KH-38 is one of many OP missiles for top BR.
