No, the R-27T is limited by its head, as well as by the gas dynamic stability of the aircraft engine. The Kh-38 family does not have such a problem.
Not to detract, but Kh-29 uses the same pylon. The issues stems from what kind of thermal seeker the supposed 38MT carries and if it has on board coolants if it’s a cooled seeker
You compared it to other things that werent fully functionnal, sooooo you did say that

This is getting off topic. But the main thing with the IR R-27s is the pylon carries coolant tanks. So it uses a different pylon
I wasn’t talking specifically about the kh-38, I was saying that Gaijin doesn’t stop .
Wouldnt the KH-38MT, if it actually exists also need coolant for the seeker?
Does the Kh-38MT suddenly have a different hull design that requires a different catapult?
Ya no, sure, totally wasnt a freudian slip

The matrix may not be cooled
are you really arguing that if it existed the Kh-38MT might use the same pylon as the Kh-38ML?
Depends. Some missiles carry their own coolants. IE later versions of AIM-9s didn’t require coolants from pylons iirc
yeah seems like you missed the point, he asked for the MT and you posted whatever missle.
You cant prove it works on the same pylon, it might require coolant like some pointed out.
You completly missed the mark
Yes and yes again, they have the same body construction.
and you can prove that how? their might be changes on the missle for coolant or similar, you dont know
No, the entire Kh-38 family uses AKU-58, no cooling mixture needed.
but unless they have the exact same seeker hence the Kh-38MT is actually laser guided you can not prove it
you cant even prove they have the same body without documentation on Kh-38MT that you do not have
but dont IR seekers need some kind of cooling
but the other members dont use an IR seeker do they?
you dont know how the supposed KH38MT is built or works

If there are any, it’s only on the inside. But since the missiles are modular, only the seeker can be changed and nothing else.
