They are being used in VKS on Su-34 in current war, so why would they remove something which is in service(I’m talking about Kh-38ML). Kh-38ML/MT should be removed from Su-25SM3 and Su-30SM. And MT from entire game
Read the full post.
Sukhoi AND Kh-38’s manufacturer both claim that Kh-38s are compatible with both Su-35 and Su-30SM.
Those Smin posts are entirely irrelevant to this topic and my posts as they address something entirely different.
I’d love to see an Su-30SM manual, but they are classified so that won’t be happening.
And much like France, Russia doesn’t equip full loadouts to their jets to show off loadouts.
Yes they do, it’s actually sad how some can’t see with their fully functioning eyes (I hope).
Your logic is also immensely flawed as we already have NATO stuff that is better than RU in the game.
If your logic was so sound as you think it is, DM53 wouldn’t be performing better than 3BM60 and many other cases being true as well. Try different arguments, this is honestly embarrassing to read.
that was exactly the reasoning behind stingers being artificially nerfed though, they said that because igla cant do that stinger cant either and we will ignore all evidence that it can
No it’s not, even Su-30SM2 doesn’t have full avionics from Su-35S.
No it shouldn’t. Russian MoD and observers posted only photos with mockup of Kh-38M family on the aircraft. In service they don’t use other A2G missile than Kh-31PM.
And i might know why gaijin decided to add Kh-38M to Su-30SM, the same brochure which we all know had caption saying something about future integrations. There was Su-25, Su-30MK etc and gaijin probably thinks that if older model could or was proposed to carry them so the newer one can do the same
Also pylons for Kh-38M family are the same as those for Kh-29 missile AKU-58AE so technically Su-30SM can carry them on the same pylons as Kh-29 but we don’t know if VKS integrated missile with the aircraft. Is that logic stupid? Of course it is. Do i agree with that? Of course not.
I am making this post to explain why in my view the source giving 20 g for the Stinger missile is almost certainly referring to what Gaijin call “average overload”, rather than the “peak overload” as they claim.
Stopped reading there as he’s basically fighting assumptions with more assumptions.
