The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

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.

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

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.

Would a non functional missle have safety clamps to mount it to a wing?

theyre the side to the left and right of the color difference near the seeker section and warhead section

aircraft dont use clamps… 🫥
theyre usually pins and little explosive ejectors if not rails

Its a KH38 base. That means nothing.
The working KH38MT with the IR seeker being integrated and working is the important part.

The base KH38 having clamps doesnr matter

That also might be markings.

bruh thats… not what they are at all.
denying it is like denying the sky is blue

Thanks for your insight on the matter. No one here really knows what those are and claiming such thing is foolish at best.

You can believe whatever you want though.

mockup:

supposed real missile:

no need.
aint doing it for the clout

claiming that there is a color difference is foolish?
to the left of the line i pointed out, the color is this
to the right of the line i pointed out, the color is this

not the same
where as in the mockup we see that the missile is supposed to be of an evenly similar color mostly all around
that color is this

contrasting:
this and
this

where as in the mockup its mostly an even
this

aint about belief. its about what i can see in front of me

And you know for a fact not a single additional marking has been added in the meantime ?
Thanks for putting them side by side, now it looks like a 38MT even more.

Which part of missile do you discuss? Because I see 100% visual match between mockup and real one. Section between seeker head and body is clearly visible and also markings on body parts are visible.

thats an inverse claim which you gotta prove. not me.
we have no reason to think any markings would be applied and even if there would be, markings aint 3D like here
