Defaulting to 3 gen Thermal for Russians things is interesting

Generation =/= resolution
russian tech wizardry
only seems to work on paper though…

Okay but what source is Gaijin using to know if it’s 2/3rd generation ir resolution on the mt
How would I know?
The one question I have been asking since I stumbled on this topic.
well its schrödingers seeker its both third and first gen until you look at it (which you cant)

Precisely, this seeker is somehow housing 25x time optics, and high resolution thermals found in thermal gun pods. It doesn’t make much sense as to why anyone would spend so many resources on a seeker that’s going to get vaporized.

or maybe it was like that on the real missile would explain why no one wanted it
lists the litening 5 at 1.4 million per unit
Because smart bombs cost really a lot of money anyway, so if you gotta vaporize a load of money at least make sure it does what you want XD
You can’t be serious.
well strapping a litening 5 pod to an atacms would still be 3 times cheaper than a single kinzal so dont know 1,700,000+1,400,000=3.1 million vs 10 million
The price of a LMUR something I would consider close to what an KH-38MT is cost only about $230,000. So no.
Find me a legit 2.2M missile with IR + IOG and we can talk. Obviously they thought those planes do need something like that.
Everyone having same missiles while having better FMs as well would be pretty fun. I guess you’re yet another person that failed to understand what is asymmetrical balancing.
may get flag for this but corruption under the name of “greater good” probably if thats the case

yea i just tried to find a stupid expensive weapon system with thermal pod level resolution
(good luck finding a sources my atacms litening 5 hybrid does not exist )
and compared it to a even more stupid expensive weapon system which is in actual use
Well, Russia’s approach to procuring weapons always has scalability in mind. It probably explains why it was never adopted in the first place.
The -9E, -9J and most subsequently derived export variants use a Peltier cooler.
