The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

No?

The “arrow” to the IR you drew points to the right copper tube that i circled in green in the image above.

And you’re talking about the IR, I was thinking about the gyroscope.

[Gunjob]

Atleast something of substance produced seems to be the requirement, see SRAAM.

[Morvran]

Yep, closest example I can think of in game too

[Necronomica]

Windows built in “designer” editor , play around with these settings:

See what makes things clearer and what makes them worse.

[MythicPi]

The seeker isnt fixed

@Morvran_

What is Gaijins minimum requirements for a weapon to be implemented?

All the parts just existing?

All the parts existing on a single actually functional weapon example? (i.e the rest of the missile in that photo of the seeker might be a mockup)

A fully functional weapon mounted onto an aircraft?

A fully functional weapon actually test fired?

afaik if a weapon existed and was atleast test fired sucessfully, then it can be added, but i might be wrong, for example sraam had like 8 test fires before it was cancelled

[Morvran]

Yep, so its proving the KH-38 with IIR seeker had even a single test firing. If that cannot be done, the weapon should be removed

The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

if you have a relaxed gyroscope which you would likely have at an expo because you wouldnt power the seeker for obvious reasons the seeker would infact look down same over here the “brass colored thing pointing north north-west” is likely a gimbal just like on the Flanker IRST as i stated before [image] [image]

[Necronomica]

Why would you answer with talking about the gyro when i started by saying the seeker/IR?
My point was that you mistakenly pointed out the IR to be the wrong thing in the image you provided and drew on at the start of the discussion. Which caused a lot of confusion.
You were however correct about the gyro part and did point to the correct thing for that.

[Gunjob]

Probably just crossed wires, there was a few conversions at the same time.

[Gunjob]

@BBCRF do you have information on its guidance method and or attack planning?

[MythicPi]

I posted these 2 pics before, but the part he’s trting to pass off as the rotating portion of the gyro very much isnt.

Looks almost the same as the thing dead center of this production Kh-38ML seeker.

[putcheeseonit]

What would be needed to satisfy this requirement?

[Sakyuz]

@MythicPi

Looks almost the same as the thing dead center of this production Kh-38ML seeker.

that… isnt even close

[MythicPi]

No, its a mockup, just like the only Kh-38MT’s ever photographed.

[Necronomica]

I think you might have missed some images, the thing he points to being the gyro actually is the gyro.

@BBCRF

You can see the seeker lens at the bottom.

[Sakyuz]

a picture/video or a document stating that such test fire happened (and prob that it was successful)

[MythicPi]

I dont know if this is a bug reportable situation?

[Morvran]

Id guess either a video from a trusted source showing it fired and guided in that manner or better yet documentation from a primary source stating that its been tested. Being so new, those might not be available so maybe even a number of reliable secondary sources maybe?

Even a photo of one with a IIR seeker mounted to the actual airframe would be a start

But I honestly dont know, Gaijin might be more flexible with it being so new and thus maybe classified?

[AydanL44100]

So if you guys wanted it removed you’d need an official non/un-classified document saying the MT was cancelled
