The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

me when the thread still hasnt shown that the missile is real and is just people saying “because X was OP for Y time Z should be allowed to be OP” because reparations or cope or something

Can people actually discuss that there is only maybe a handful of photos and all only of a mockup dummy. nothing further at all nor any remainants of a MT found in places of combat you would anticipate it to have made a debut in.

If you plan to use it to find targets from 30km away that thermal optic will need to be cooled or it will lose it’s sensitivity.

Thermals is another thing that Russia are yet again behind on compared to the West. Especially Germany IRL the Pumas thermals are incredible

Aren’t the French the best thermal manufacturers in Europe

I don’t think nationallity matters, if this missile was American, French or Swedish and it turned out to be fake people would still complain until the forums burst.

Germans would argue it, they make the best ocular devices lenses etc.

Schmidt and Bendner
Leica

To name a few.

Many strike aircraft share the same cons, you are on the good path.

Safran makes PASEO sights, so good US got them

Also if Germany is so good at optics, how come they don’t make TGP?

Well, someone has the develop new Leopards )))))

There is a difference between manufacturing high quality lenses for optics and manufacturing high quality digital sensors for optics.

Would a really nice set of lenses help a thermal imager? Yeah, sure. But it’s still a thermal imager even without really nice lenses.

Plus, France also has fairly nice lens manufacturers. The scopes for their modern sniper rifles are known to be of high quality.

Its a hyper specialized industry thats already oversaturated. The germans do make some fantastic thermal sights for tanks tho, like the ATTICA.

That being said, off topic.

Even then, he claims the only one he’s ever seen was also a mockup lol. He also later states he cant share any proof so it doesnt really go anywhere

AFAIK the ARH seeker is for anti-ship role (It’s not the mmW anti-tank type)

TBH wouldn’t mind it for Air SB … (Assuming it exists and used by the planes we have)
