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:
Spoiler
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 …
Nah they can produce thermal imagers, theyre just of inferior quality to french ones they had access to.
What can be said though is that its highly dubious the russians would be wasting 3rd gen thermal imagers on a one time use Kh-38MT as the game implies.
Its actually a good explanation as to why the option for the IIR guidance option may have been removed.
That’s the most likely variant
That’s a plausible explanation and Russia (as with many other countries) have a history of exporting more expensive tech that they don’t use in their own service (at least initially).
But mass production or mass use is hardly a criteria for something being in the game …
Thats super weird, looks like the same website, but mine has the mentions removed and yours doesnt 🤔
I wonder whats going on there. Inwonder if yours is an older version of the site, since thats how I remember the webpage looking like before the recent changes.
Current version of the website that I see:
Just a reminder:
False flagging will have consequences, so it would be preferred to not do that

if it never existed operationally and wasn’t exported then why should it exist if western weapons with same criteria can’t be ingame?

The 9X locks onto a silhouette.
What you’re seeing is not the side of a gimbal assembly. You’re completely wrong.
The point of this whole post is that there is no proof of there having ever been production at all, never mind any proof of a functionnal missile being tested.
A brochure and mockups is not evidence of production, even limited, and nobody has yet provided evidence of any actual functional Kh-38MT having been produced.

no, western countries are blocked from accessing russian websites
gaijin actually accepted those as sources in a bug report like 20 days ago which is interesting
this was already addressed and he replied later on more with it being functional
Clearly not, since i can access it just fine, as can frienss of mine in the EU and US lmao
Im not sure why you bother lying, Ive been very fair and open with this post and the discussion.
i cant access the Sukohi website for example
and a few more russian .gov websites
http://www.sukhoi.org/
If you mean that’s what most people are claiming, I can believe that, given how propagandized people are
But I don’t think there’s any doubt that Russia could make the thermal variant just fine
Whether it would be deemed suitable for their own service (in terms of cost/capability and production rate etc) is another story …
Them being able to make something and them having made something are 2 different things entirely.
Unless you are saying every nation should get everything they could have ever made in-game, which is absolutely insane as a take.

A MWS like that is a very different class of system. I get the point being made but this is apples to oranges. I think using small diameter IIR systems is a better way to demonstrate this.
The game is not based on peer-reviewed scientific proof
It’s based on what the country/company of origin claims
It’s not like we have verified all the claims that the non-Russian companies/countries have made in their documents …
In order to add a weapon to planes there must be proof of working weapon of said type to be at least seen on said plane.
Meaning: There is a picture of, lets say F-80 with, lets say R-77, and in that imaginary scenario that place can fire that missile. It means it can be added.
IF it would be lets say J-7D with AGM-65A mockup, it would not be added, as it does not meet the critera and it is not eligible.
