gaijin is just randomly giving stuff to random vehicles atp, and not giving other vehicles what they had.

take f5c for example which never had flares or aim9e.

su25 missing its engine armor, kfiir c10 missing DL and MAWS.

i mean, nato turret baskets arent fully modelled anyways too, the list is endless.

lets not get off topic here.

As i said multiple times they fix and not fix whatever they like.

The best you will get is that they have some sekrit documents or they think the missile existed in some way at some point and that’s enough for them to keep it. No way in hell are they going to just remove the singular thing that makes Russian CAS so powerful and gets tank rb players flocking to grind out the planes.

Being very powerful in tank rb is the whole idea about Russian top tier jets rn (and “nato” being powerful in air rb), Gaijin seems to want to keep it that way and its clear by how they are refusing to add more powerful nato cas or spaa for years now (while doing so for russia) but are fine with giving them very powerful air to air missiles and fighters.

Wouldn’t it be easier to prove that the missile seeker was never placed on the KH38?

I don’t understand how people keep saying that the missile itself doesn’t exist, it does, it’s the KH 38
(what I mean is, the propellant + the explosive charge, they exist and are real)
The real question would then be whether the seeker was placed on these missiles? And if that’s the question, wouldn’t this photo alone prove that it is real? Because I doubt they would waste time making the cables and all the parts of the seeker just for being fake, for example like in this photo:

this look very real for me…
if they wanted a 100% mockup it would be simple to just make a part that is 100% fake (without the cables and seeker) like this one:

they want people to buy it and out of those two which would you pay more attention to

F15E and Rafale honest reaction :-

arent any more top tier single vehicle SPAA for other countries, when it comes to patriots which are multi vehicle SAM sites, they are considering it

which come pre nerfed to the ground

This is what the thread is saying?
It doesn’t deny the existence of the whole series just the T variant.

and that’s the point, they would make a 100% real seeker, not a fake one with nothing in front, so if the seeker is real…and the missile (propellant + explosive charge) is also real, doesn’t this prove that the kh38mt missile is real?

at least make some effort to read everything I wrote

why would they? its much cheaper to make a fake one and then the income from export sales can be used for development significantly reducing the risk while maintaining almost the same potential reward

well, thats my point,

this isnt buy a washing machine that fancy models will attract you, more specific details and performance are required by forces for these weapons.

no point spending a lot of time nearly making a new seeker just for a mockup

Also if no one is intersted in buyign the KH-38MT, why develop it in the first place.

Loads of examples of mockups being made for weapon systems that were ultimately canceled because no one was itnerested in buying them, like the ground attack variant of the ASRAAM

so you are agreeing that it would be a smarter business move for them to have a fake seeker on display rather than developing one?

but they might not have developed a new seeker and just made something that vaguely looks like one

the problem is that they wouldnt place a real seeker in a mockup
because yk that someone w malicious intend can just steal it away and boom sekret leak
the reason for finding if its real or not is that we need to know if its actually functional or not and putting a mockup seeker in a mockup is cheaper than putting real seeker in a mockup
because this isnt the US
