Yeah not surprised. Given the advent of drone that could serve as leaser designators, the Kh-38ML seems to be the superior option in 99.9% of cases.
The MT variant was likely only prototyped, and was probably sucessfully deployed, but due to the above reasons was never procured by anybody. And I doubt we will ever know if it was test fired or not.
So probably not a paper weapon, but definitely not a weapon that went into mass production.
it doesnt?
im pretty sure it does
no it dosent
seems like they trained it again last time i looked its knowledge was cut off in 2019
but it is still cut off
It tracks heat, I’m not sure if it can remember the target image.
Hmm kh38ma exists? Would that be similar to the brimstones?
or even funnier A2A
tell this to the GPS + IOG + laser guided bombs that are still missing on all US top tier planes other than f18C despite documented proof and images of their use
That for the Falcon-V. Unless you are saying they use the same seeker?
nah i thought thats the image BBCRF meant
Maybe. The Kh-38 would be more suited in an anti-ship role, but it’s also very hard to find information on
There is a possibility it could target tanks, but that would be very overkill considering it’s payload. The LMUR would be Russia’s closest equivalent to the Brimstone 1, and that uses optical guidance.
It’s even worse than that, the Mirage 2000N n°301 used to carry out the AASM firing tests is the property of the DGA (Directorate General of Armaments), the agency that deals with the development of weapons and their integration into the French forces. The problem is that the aircraft is very extensively modified to carry out the firing tests, so it is impossible to know if the AASM would be adaptable on a classic Mirage 2000 without significant changes.
Moreover, the integration of AASM on the Mirage 2000-5F delivered to Ukraine has not yet been confirmed, although it was announced last October, which shows the importance of the modifications. (Even if the 2000-5F does not carry air-ground weapons, the French agencies have all the bases to integrate air-ground equipment on this aircraft)
Remove fantasy KH-38MT. Justice for Brimstone, justice for game balance.
justice for game balance would be removing cas completely from ground battles and giving fully capable air-ground weaponry to planes
I think the top of “lense” might be a reflection from some railing in front of it
you can clearly see the edge of the circuit board through it
additionally how the wires are run suggests that the seeker is looking up as they would offer more range of motion if that was the case
finally the orientation of the visible circuitry doesnt make much sense if it is in IIR lense at the bottom as its position and angle would suggest an axis of rotation very recessed into the missile which would significantly lower seeker FOV
No the top is most definitely a pivot area. You can tell by the marker on it.
I agree. Many are missing from many aircraft. Gaijins reluctance to add GBU options is weird. Typhoon is missing nearly a dozen options across all nations
X-38 should be removed not because they didn’t exist in real life, but because they broke the balance of the game.
AASM also needs to be removed
yes, i know
