The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Well the missile already existed, it’s just a seeker swap correct? So it’s a debate truly over whether or not the seeker is currently in service or exists?

I’ve seen things that suggest the seeker is being used in small numbers, and does exist. They have been deployed according to 2 sources, none of which I can link due to:

  1. Being politically a problem in the current climate of Europe
  2. More than likely classified

Technically we would need a proof of a working missile with working seeker being at least mounted on a plane.

we’d also need proof of penguin ASM and the MFG’s ASM being able to track tanks

Idk if you will find those.

it’ll come to us in a dream

I was making hyperbole statements to make a point :P

But yes, you are correct :)

Yep, more to that effect at least.

Those are obstacles in cases like these yes, as with any new military technology :)

SRAAM as the potential comparison here…
This post is not saying it currently is.

Of course, it’s irrelevant to bring up the fact that SRAAM is meh.

that one was removed very early on, the kormaran doesnt have that ability since god knows how long

Well, there is verified evidence that SRAAMs have actually had multiple test firings. So whilst they are a prototype weapon that was canceled before entering service, they did at least exist in their entirity and were functional. Which is likely the bare minimum requirement for a weapon system to be added.

The Yak-141 at least took off, but the F-16AJ doesn’t even exist.

Even we - Russians can’t change IRST.

  1. Need 2 sources
  2. Need to indicate which plane will be found from 50/90 km, but the book doesn’t say this

Similarly there are Russian IR ATGMs that we don’t have in game.

There are many weapons not added from many nations.

Any serial ones?
From what i remember - there was only few KH-25MTP with IR seeker and thats it

there is also an IR Kh-29

Remind them that Rafael’s maneuverability has been changed by video

there wasnt

to make it a level worse it sitting on the sarh pylon so you cant take 2 of these and 4 phoenixes

Kh-29D? That thing doesn’t exist iirc, only being mentioned in some papers. As for KH-25MTP, I think it was made, but unsure if it was tested, so idk if it’s something like a valid replacement for the 38MT
