No, on the display the whole area was constantly lit up by the scan, now they made it invisible, so the scope is in normal colour.

Not that I know of
They should have PD search and frontal only pd search

But AFAIK it does lack a non PD pulse mode

What the hell is the IR Kh-58?

Is this an actual thing?

Did anyone purchase it?

No but there’s pictures of it on Rosboronexport.

Maybe it’s like US AARGM that added terminal MMW seeker, to improve reliability when radar is turned off

One of those “Russia can’t make IIR seekers” moments

Well this is IRR not IIR.

So it’s obviously different.

I really wish I could find a image with that stand a bit more visible.

I found an old article from 2015 and it makes the IIR function seem a bit more… Exciting.

I know one exists since Rosboronexport used it on their website.

But with the effects you can barely read it.

Nevermind. I need the stand on the left side, the right one is for a Laser Guided Bomb.

This is the best I’ve found so far

i also feel like kh-58 ushk is underperforming in terms of range ? 120km is wayy too low

unfortunately in-game calculator only allows to put target up to 150km from a carrier.

but a low altitude launch goes even fruther if launched from maximum speed of Su-30SM2

If you make the target move away you can stretch it out
