The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Completely forgot that the brit jag gets a better tgp than the french ones

We we baguette

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

And also blue on blues the Brit’s time to time

And i also see no reason why brimstone can’t have LOAL mmW either.

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 I thought they were out of date by then

It actually does make sense. A lot of weapon systems get advertised early or even before R&D for them begins.

You can see this with weapons systems like Skyflash Active (ARH version of the Skyflash), Typhoon (HEAT version of ASRAAM meant for ground attack) or even weapon systems like SRAAM which were test fired but canceled.

The question is, did it ever actually get built and test fired which is the bare minimum requirement for WT.

If there was no IRL interest in the weapon (especially for an export market) why develop it?

If this is enough for a weapons introduction, I want my FnF ground attack ASRAAMs

Also, constantly. Main weapon I die from in GRB at the moment at top tier

I think it is impossible in modern times.

Well I’ll be.

yeah like you said it gets advertised before they begin production so i dont think its being produced in mass rn and at most its probably limited testing
