I don’t think he understands much about arms sales and procurement tbh bro, i’d slow things down for him
Warhead ? Definetly no but seeker might be
Are they live firing them? No.
There is no reason to bring live weapons to defense expos, they use mockups, and that’s why you often see the same missile/bomb being used at different shows
They could get some by the same Gaijin’s principle.
Top tier gap is still a gap.
Just like how 16AJ filled a gap for Japan.
Again, show me a statement from Gaijin saying they won’t remove 38MT for example in due time.
Japan still has plenty of dubious stuff in the game.
How do you know that ?
Sadly they don’t because they’re not Russia
Why add something in the first place if you’re going to remove it anyway?
Like?
I think you’re right, lol
Circling back to a point I made about proving negatives:
Find me a video, image or document stating the successful live firing of a KH-38MT from an airbourne platform during any of the defense expos they’ve appeared in.
So, lets be clear :
You think they took a working missile. Removed the warhead and then removed the solid rocket fuel.
The fuel which is poured into where it needs to be and then sets during the manufacturing process. This would destroy the weapon.
Why? What purpose would that serve? It would be an act of incredible stupidity. It’s a mockup, and almost certainly the same one we’ve seen in other photos.
Why so ? If you making a claim that Kh-38 doesn’t exist why burden of proof lies on me ?
Or Japan/Germany.
Same question for all dubious stuff from Japan ?
16AJ, Ho-Ris, Kikka with guns ?
I think we can all conclude your purpose in this conversation

Look it’s much easier they took mockup and placed seeker on it
The reason people claim it doesn’t exist is because there is very little to say it does, if I were claiming a widely used combat ready missile like AGM-65 didn’t exist then I would have to provide substantial evidence and reasoning, here though I need very little to deduct that the KH-38MT isn’t real
Because you are making the claim the weapon exists when all the evidence points to it not existing.
You can prove a positive, can’t prove the negative so logically the burden of proof falls on you.
Why i need to do such claim if Kh-38 is already in the game ?
Either there is a language or intellect barrier between us, which is it hm?
lolol
You think they took a very valuable seeker, and installed it on a mockup? IR seekers for missiles in that class are very expensive. Infact, thats probably the reason it never left the mockup stage in the first place.
Again, why? Why not just use the mockup they already have?
You’re really streching now.
Because we’re talking about the real world.
You made the claim the KH-38MT exists. Its on you to back it up.
Well because at that time they were thought to be permanent to fill a gap. The kh38mt was added in a time where fake stuff already got removed for being fake. That’s the difference between the Japanese/german stuff and the kh38mt. The only thing that might be similar is the F16AJ but even that one predates the subtree that would have offered a real alternative
