The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Good question lol. Even in the “new” brochure with seeker details it’s at ~380m/s.

Where’s the proof? Other than some propaganda photos in a brochure? Lol the KH25ML sure theres proof of those. Its hard to believe anything from Russia considering its mostly propaganda at this point. Su57, Hypersonics etc etc

Just want to point out this means nothing by itself. I for example have a ADATS Mk. 3 brochure with most of the data.
Mk. 3 never existed.

No. Whataboutism is about unequal example we talking about performance of 2 missiles and i showed another example of 2 missiles this is not whataboutism. Don’t hide your double standarts behind fallacy that you don’t understand.

AIM-9L was added in update 1.85 for AH-1Z December 2018 Update 1.85 “Supersonic” - Changelog - Updates - Game - War Thunder

8 9M120 was exchanged for 4 9M39 in Mi-35M update 1.91 September 2019 War Thunder 1.91 "Night Vision" - Changelog - Updates - Game - War Thunder

AIM-9M was added for AH-1Z in update 2.23 September 2023 War Thunder "Sons of Attila" - Changelog - Updates - Game - War Thunder

So yes i have no clue how AIM-9M on AH-1Z performed in 2018/19 i know how Igla performed in 2019 and it was definetly worse than AIM-9L and Mi-35M never carried 8 Iglas.

And i doubt that some one would compare Igla to AIM-9L because some thing much worse will be added after one month

Average flight speed = max speed?

You might give them a picture with that as well, so there’s the maximum chance they’ll understand. To me this looks like an average speed of M1.1 over the maximum range.

I guess confirmation bias is such a strong phenomenon that it makes people lose the ability to read and understand plain English.

From the same Wikipedia page:

This doesn’t seem to be case though. Check the colors in the rectangle I drawn, it appears that the colors are pretty much unified until the smaller metallic ring is reached right around the seeker.
Even in this low quality picture, that smaller metallic ring is sticking out as a sore thumb, while the bigger ring which is made out of the same material can’t be seen at all.

To me it still sticks out pretty clearly…
Don’t know what to make of it but it’s sus

Only thing that sticks out pretty clearly is the smaller ring. You can look at the bottom half of the missile where there’s much less sunlight present, and all you can see is the small ring followed by something with clearly different color.

So… is this proof that it exists? If so, good work!

I mean you can say that but nothing can remove the blatantly different colours between the whole seeker head and the body.
Some small area may slightly match but even that is a different colour if you look closely

Go higher. There is whole brochure posted by Chinese guy.
