The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

It’s a few planes that finally got thermals, nato aircraft have had them for quite some time

It must’ve been bugged when I flew the Su-34 in ground then, because that was not an option, granted I only flew the Su-34 shortly after it came out. Then it’s been collecting dust

With the exception of the AGM-65D’s thermals and the LANA FLIR navigation pod, I don’t remember any NATO aircraft having TGPs with IR before the F-16C and AV-8B+/Harrier Gr.7 came out

I’m talking thermals in general. Acquisition of a target is key over all.

That’s why I like the A-6e tram

This missile definitely exists on the roe website:

Why would Rosoboronexport offer a “fake” missile? It doesn’t make sense.

It is not used in war because laser-guided or glonass-guided Kh-38 have a longer range and these missiles aren’t used against moving targets anyway. Planes don’t kill tanks in real life. This is a helicopter job. But this does not mean that the Kh-38MT does not exist. Russia uses an LMUR fpv missile with a thermal seeker, I see no reason why the Kh-38 can’t have a thermal seeker either.

I do not know why there is so much hate towards the Kh-38. How often do you die from this missile? I very rarely. I have both Su-34 and Su-30SM and I can say that the MiG-27K and Su-25T/Su-39 are much better on 11.3 because on 12.7-13.0 you regularly play against crowds of fighters with fox3. 8.0-9.0 and 12.0-13.0 is the worst br for CAS.

It’s because many people believe Russian bias is a real thing, thanks to youtubers

Tbf the A10 flys only in non spaa areas

This dude really compared the Gulf War and the 2022 War ☠️☠️☠️

If MT can so why can’t mmW brimstone?

What missions did the F-111 fly in? I thought they were out of date by then
