they absolutely do not, everything suggests it doesnt exist past a mockup looking for export sales to fund development

it is very common to offer an option that doesnt actually exist by someone ordering it will provide the funding for development
and yeah its not in the prototype stage because it never got to that, everything weve seen suggests it never progressed past a mockup in a brochure

Thales owns russian optical development lol, the Russians haven’t gotten very far without their Catherine FCs
Current KH-38MT is a literal work of fiction as the missile itself, let alone a functional one on various launch platforms

It does, but it talks that the first stage of the rocket provides an acceleration of 22G which is needed to arm the missile.
doesnt really matter though because even gaijin have admitted they were stupid
still havent fixed it though

The propulsion section consists of a launch motor and a dual-thrust
flight motor. The launch motor ejects the missile from the launch
tube. The missile coasts a safe distance (about 9 meters) from the
gunner before the dual thrust flight motor ignites and provides a
sustained 22 gravity acceleration that arms the missile.
Such a great source showing us how Stinger can accelerate at 22Gs, now find me something that states the actual average G load of the missile. But now at least read what the source is talking about before telling me I shouldn’t listen to RU propaganda.
Who should I listen to ? Random guy on a forum that can’t comprehend three simple sentences in English ? No thanks.

Sure, but that doent justify using a out of context quote to prove a point, and at least gaijin still use the same metric for all manpads which has this kind of guidance, which also affect the more modern russian missiles.
tbh I didnt read it to thoroughly because I had to go do something right then
what other missiles does this affect? its not like strela is easy to dodge kinematicly in game
This doesn’t apply to the Stinger, read the relevant report (Here) on the issue, I’m happy to answer any questions you have.

the igla-s or the verba, the latter for example still uses the same 10g as the igla
ok? do you have evidence that they dont use the same bad system as the earlier igla?
Lateral acceleration: 20 g
I’m looking for a keyword maximum or peak, it shouldn’t be that hard to find, right ?
Is there any evidence that they do ?
other than the fact that at least on of them is a later varient of the same missile?
G averaging should not apply to the Stinger, read the report its properly sourced and goes into detail as to why. It’s explained there.

Do I need to repeat myself ?
They do have much larger control surfaces in the case of the igla-s and the verba is not a variant of the igla
Ok fine, Compare the following excerpts’ Figure. 6C & -6D and Figure -9.
Note the lack of Quadrature / Horizontal acceleration.

Just get to the chase, I’m not a Bug Manager that you need to spam with stuff so I get bored reading through all of it and just pass it along to devs so they deal with it instead. My conditions are pretty clear I guess.
