The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Its the large silver ring im looking at which throws me off.
MTE isnt supposed to have it

Like the difference in color between the body and the seekerhead.

a mock up that needs safty pins for the launch rails so it isnt accidentally fired on the ground?

No its what i suspect to be a promotional photoshop (like the UHT with the chin cannon)

This AIM-152 mockup also has a safety pin and yet we know for sure it’s nonfunctional.

well in the same brochure there is data on the seeker you wouldnt have without having a seeker

but it is pointless arguing with you because you will dismiss this anyway

Idk man the one that we see mounted doesn’t seem to have a smooth and white seeker body like this one

both missiles look differently “rough” i think instead of saying they build weirdly shaped missiles, it is the refelection of the sun, as it also lines up with the shadow the su-34 throws on the ground

The initial brochure showed hit probabilities for the 38MT despite it not existing.

Yeah,
they probably just made the seeker sensitivity and contrast up

Values you would not be able to get without the seeker

Uh? My man there is nothing in that green circle, it’s literally the edge of the missile glass. You will never be able to discern any features of the seeker from that far away lmao.

I didn’t make the comparison picture I was just too lazy to scroll up and find the actual picture of the Kh38mt at the maks expo

Thats… not at all what i meant.
Its what apparently looks like bare unpainted metal around the seeker-head that throws me off of declaring this a real MT picture

Maybe its one of these

the 38mt has a bare metal ring around the seeker, it isnt as wide as the one on the 38ml tho

Yes thats what im trying to say too.
The image with the missile mounted also seems to have a larger bare unpainted metal ring as well as a smaller ring.

Either that or its a whole different seeker-head photoshopped onto it since the larger ring extends all the way to the mounting rails start

Yeah kinda looks like a photoshop

Explain why it isn’t sufficient. Saying that you feel like it isn’t sufficient doesn’t hold any weight lmao.

Also the tail of the one of the right has a weird shape, it looks like it’s bent somehow.

Where did Gaijin get it’s 750 M/S if it’s clearly showing 350-400M/S in the brochure?
