Nope it has an internal high-contrast TV imager and targeting/lasing system. It also launches TV guided missiles and has weapons based imaging from that.
The IDF AH64A/D still missing the Spike and the unique IDF avionics
Spike NLOS boasts a guidance system with two modes of operation. One of these allows it to simply strike fixed targets at designated coordinates. The other ‘man-in-the-loop’ type, in which an operator can make fine adjustments during the terminal phase of the missile’s flight, using a video feed transmitted from an infrared camera in the weapon’s nose. A cylindrical line-of-sight datalink pod that can be attached to the Apache’s stub wings (seen below) is used for this two-way control of Spike.

That’s an insult to kettles. How dare you include it with those inferior pieces of scrap metal.

It’s not that the JMSDF is naming their ships after former IJN warships, but rather the naming scheme they use was also used by the IJN but to different classes:
IJN naming scheme:
- Battleships— provinces/names for Japan
- Battlecruisers & heavy cruisers— mountains
- Light cruisers— rivers
- Destroyers— meteorological/astronomical phenomenon
- Carriers— animals/mythological beasts
JMSDF naming scheme:
- Helicopter destroyers and Helicopter carriers (DDH)—traditional provinces for Japan/mountains
- Guided missile destroyers (DDG)—mountains/weather terms
- Small destroyers (DD)—weather terms
- Frigates (DE)(FFM)—rivers
- Submarines (SS)—ocean currents/legendary auspicious animals
- Patrol Boats (PG)—birds of prey

So no Thermal vision? Only high contrast?
only this thing, but you can use the missile’s IR seeker instead

I just tested the Su-25SM3, and the KH-38MT’s thermal camera zoom is just as good as the targeting pod on the Su-25SM3. It can also be used to guide Kh-25ML, S-25LD, and KH-38ML missiles within the KH-38MT camera view.
