TBH I’d want to see AIM-4s in general. They were pretty great missiles… when they actually worked XD

If nothing else its weird enough to make interceptors keep their distance.

There’s a bunch of missiles that I would love to see get added, but I feel like they should first figure out how to fix the Red Tops and SRAAMs

Beam Riding AA.25s and AA-1s(K-5) when?

X-4s.

Is anybody going to get kills with these manually guided missiles? No. Are they an important step in history that should be in game? Yes.

This is the best evidence I’ve found, but in my opinion it’s already pretty conclusive

We’ve also made a thread too discuss the missing weapons: JH7A can use more precision-guided weapons - #10 by SliverJian

Yes, but is it kh29TE or just kh29T?

It’s hard too tell, but my guess is TE, as the pain in it implies a more modern variant, and I would expect china too buy new Kh-29’s anyways, not old outdated variants from cold war storage

i heard that is TE

I’m hoping for rank VIII ground in december. Although at this point I’m not sure if I’m still inhaling hopium or moved on to the copium already.

“The SAPSAN-E can guide the laser-cued version of the Region Bureau’s KAB-1500, a massive 1,500kg TV-guided bomb that comes in FAE and deep-penetrating versions. An unidentified version of this bomb along with about 2,000 Kh-29 short-range attack missiles were acquired by the PLAAF in 2002… weapon package likely includes: the 160km range Kh-59M TV-guided missile… the 12km range Kh-29T TV-guided missile; and a range of laser and TV-guided bombs.”

Source isn’t perfect, it’s a quote from: Gertz , Bill (1 July 2002 ), "China test-fires new air-to-air missile; Taiwan likely to get upgraded arms", The Washington Times , p. A1

By the looks of it rank 8 for Ground will happen with the leaks and the info we have right now.

Seems consistent with photo evidence, plus it makes since. If China is already operating modern Russian weapon systems, why not make sure Domestic planes like the Jh-7 are also compatible with them. Be cool if the war thunder devs saw it that way too

Wouldn’t the MiG-29SMT also have access to the Sapsan?

Attention all china players, the JH-7A is at risk of not coming too the game with its most competitive loadout, so it it’s up too y’all too get these reports in so we can hopefully have it in the game with some actual air too surface missles!

Good luck china players, rarely does a late-term suggestion go through

im just hopeful that beacuse the Kh-29 is already in game, that we can at least hope too see that present on the Jh-7A. Im just still quiet disappointed that they would add the plane without its most interesting air too ground options in the first place.

Honestly they probably werent even aware of it. It seems obscure.
