The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

How’s it going? This mockup is still as unreal as it was, right?

The mock-up? All it proves is the idea existed. Also your Expo messages for that picture all state that the mock-up there was for laser guidance so figure that one out.

Grom-1 is an Cruise Missile…
Aka, not an (Replacement) for an Air to ground missile…
You want Grom-1? Sure, gib Taurus and Storm Shadow too…

no of course it isnt a replacement they are 2 different weapon categories, russia doesnt NEED a replacement for the MT as it out preforms every other AGM by a large margin in my time playing at 12.0 recently ive seen next to no EFT, Rafales or F15Es but I have seen a ton of Su30SMs

the thing they arent mentioning is that 40-50 second timer is launched from 20km, brimstones get that kinda launch at 10

How do you know its a mock up? and the image I send does not state its laser guidance

Ares Overwatch

I yearn for the crazy Harrier Gr7 with over 20 typhoons

Tartarus and Storm Shadow nah but the AGM-84 yes.

AGM-84 isnt a cruise missile? SLAM-ER is the closet thing the US has to the KH-38MT and should already be in the game if gaijin wanted balance

if we get Grom 1 then we get Taurus and StormShadow

No, we wouldn’t get Tarturus or Storm Shadow in response to the Grom-1, they’re not even close to equal in performance.
I would like to see them with the actual equal to the Tartarus and Storm Shadow, the Kh-101, there’s a few more but I can’t remember their actual names off the top of my head.

Would only be 12

1 I dont see any counters to the KH38MT in game so clearly gaijin dont care about equals and 2. cruise missiles will be pointless after 100km by that point they can already strike anything on any map (ill give you a hint grom 1 has a max speed of 2.2 mach the storm shadow is 0.98 mach) so no they do fit

Brimstone 2 or 3 would be a KH-38 equal. Let alone spear-3. Storm shadow and Taurus wouldn’t be great for GRB

and we dont have any of these in game, not to mention if we did gaijin would continue to force us to use a limited version of the missile while russians get to play with a fantasy missile that doesn’t exist

oh I know I meant for ARB or ASB since if russia is getting a cruise missile might as well give one to everyone


Note this seeker color, combined with the giant seeker lense facing down in the first picture. Also note the angle of the seekerhead, its facing downwards a bit unlike MLE


Actual Kh-38MLE seeker color and different seeker and the seekerhead fully facing forward instead of slightly down

why are they different if both say X 38 MLE?, oh hold on nvm im just extremely blind one says ME and other MLE

Thats a no cause its broken in ARB

what the hell is a KH 38 ME??? im sure i aint reading it wrong

Because it is at an Expo.

Which one the one that looks like it has an IR seeker? Yes that one is stated to be a laser seeker by Russian media.

The only people who says the seeker is IR are us armchair analysts who look at the seeker and say it doesn’t look like a laser seeker.
