The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Also dead on my end

Spoiler

Maybe its geoblocked? Don’t have a VPN to test that rn tho

Russia should just forget about the infrared Kh-38MT and make a version with TV seeker instead

Gaijin recently increased the spawn cost for AGMs with IR seeker, so you can’t respawn with it twice in GFSB anymore :)

web archive.

OOOOOH that explains it. He provided a link to an outdated website as proof xD

I’ve already stated in the post that the Kh-38MTE was on old brochures, but has since been removed, so he’s just providing misrepresented information.

Don’t you have link/page for LMUR missile? that missile have an Even more complicate Seeker. And its close to Spike missile. Its have IR seeker but the launcher can change target even when the missile its about to hit.

Can you please clarify which brochure(s) you are talking about?

sure so it is still same as the one from 2023
@MythicPi this is the latest information on the website

The 38MTE and all mentions of the IR seeker options were recently removed from KTRV and Rosoboronexport. The option was still being advertized until recently, but no actual proof it was produced or tested exist.

As some people have already pointed out, a brochure can include options that do not yet work or exist simply for the sake of seeking out additional funding for development, which is likely the case with all non-SALH versions of the Kh-38M. It seems these efforts fell through and the alternative guidance options were abandonned.

I already have in the original post, but here:
ROE guided weapons catalogue

ROE Kh-38MLE catalogue entry
The option for the anti-tank cluster warhead has also been removed.

no

Also I would like to remind you that every claim about T version being tested falls apart under some news we were getting about 2-3 years ago. russia is unable to produce thermal imagers on their own. So outside of their stockpile they don’t have anything else. Do you think they would really start strapping them to missiles?

Seems like KTRV removed all military products (and not just Kh-38MTE) from their website (Most likely to avoid sanctions on their personnel and management; Some other manufacturers have done the same).

ROE still lists Kh-38MTE on their website:

Yes, the page is titled “MLE” but it’s because they have only one page for all four variants.

MAE and MKE don’t have their own page either. And MKE which is the GNSS guided version is even simpler than MLE … So I don’t think anyone can claim that they couldn’t or didn’t want to manufacture it …
