Dont hammers go up to like 60km?
why is your start speed 1620 thats 20km/h over whats stated in the brochure
why do you have an launch angle of 50°?
also dont forget that the drag will drastically increase the lower it gets in altitude
I doubt they’re increasing the maximum in game range anytime soon. Our missiles have like 13km target lock range so 40km launches should be pretty rare to begin with.
450m/s = 1620
Target locating angle is 50
(could be 60, it’s kinda blurry)

40km launch, 12km alt. It’s not 70km! Because the game limited the Kh-38 missile to 40km ground lock, and also the battery reserve to 90s.
40 km launch, 12 km altitude = average speed ~2000 km/h = ~555 m/s.
All average speed tests are useless because we cannot launch this Kh-38 missile to the stated 70km maximum range for an average speed of 300-400m/s.
that is the seeker limit tho not a loft angle
the missile lofts itself ingame

You forgot the " in the horizontal plane"

should be atleast 200s
at the movement of missile launch, honestly it’s oddly described
I know older sources don’t mention the satellite guidance for the ML and MT
But as I’ve explained in my report, it probably was just not mentioned due to not being very important
I.e. GNSS guidance costs very little and there’s no reason to omit it (it probably costs you money to omit it only on some variants)
It’s explicitly mentioned for the MK because for this variant it’s the main guidance method
For other variants it’s not mentioned as it’s only to correct for the INS drift and it’s not the main guidance method …

yeah, they are just telling that the maximun lock angle at launch is ±50º, iirc in game the missile have a ±55º
Well, I’ll leave you guys to it, you guys are smarter than me when it comes to this stuff. I’m just glad I picked up on the average missile speed being an issue
it is possible that it isnt, when looking at the newer brochure
They don’t mention GNSS because there is lack of it, that’s all. At that point you can call every missile existing that they have GNSS because “it’s cheap”. Jam resistant with multiple modules GNSS isn’t “extremely cheap”. Also older Kh-38M have long wings, new has short wings.
What is your source for the cost of GNSS guidance? Cost of the missile with and without it?
Well, to some degree it is the case
If you look at missiles and bombs produced/designed in the past 10-20 years you hardly find one that would benefit from GNSS that lacks GNSS …
It’s cheap so they put it everywhere they could benefit from it …
The GNSS modules are just very cheap
Commercial ones start from less than $5 …
Sure, military grade ones will cost more, but still very cheap compared to the cost of the missile
Even $500-1000 isn’t much for a missile that costs few hundred thousand dollars …
