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

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.

Did not find anything about it being able to do the Cobra, but it’s still pretty manoeuvrable loaded
