The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

Aight

Again, look at the rectangle I made and look at the color palette from the front all the way to the back of the rectangle.

Things stay the same until you reach that smaller ring.

I don’t think it’s that fast, don’t forget that drag is proportional to velocity squared (let alone when supersonic), and since the motor won’t be burning for the entire duration it’s going to be coasting the majority of that distance and as such that would means that the peak speed would have to be even higher for it to have an average speed of Mach 1.1.

Ah yes. You are right. Like 15 hours ago? I dont remember exactly.

bro it doesnt matter that the rectangle seems similar in color because the rest of the majority of the color abruptly changes at the seekerhead - missile body boundary

Ok ill have a look

I mean why are we even discussing this when the official exporter of the 38M family stated the max speed is M2.2. People omitting the word “average” more than once is either a very big coincidence or something else entirely.

@Armen_Lozone
I’ve seen your drawings and you clearly think the metallic part reaches all the way back to the “bump” that serves as a mounting bracket or something. Take a look at 38ML, you’ll see the metallic part ends way before that “bump”.

yes i know. it looks strange which is why i think its a promotional photoshop

could also be POV/perspective angle

It looks strange when compared to 38ML because it isn’t an 38ML.
The seeker on the ML also isn’t tilted down, unlike on the MT.

im not comparing it to a 38ml per se, im comparing the colors

perspective?
editing?

You might be seeing the reflection from the sun, which is why I told you told on the bottom half of the missile where impact of that is many times less.
You can see a clear change of color between the small ring and the rest of the missile at around that area.

Check post 7203

ok lemme elaborate
Explain this:

explain the clearly different colors on the left and right.

also non metallic surfaces dont produce such a glare when under the sun as is shown

also is no one talking about this abrupt cutoff point?

Can’t really see what those pictures represent, better mark it on the original.

Markings on the missile ?

That missile looks like a 38MT and any other comparisons fell short.
