planes can be at alot higher altitudes than helicopters so it would make sense to angle the seeker down
btw we moved past the “is it real” disscussion

You don’t strictly need it, but it doesn’t make sense to omit something that costs peanuts
And from the Kh-38MLE video, the “inertial satellite navigation system” is part of the base module.
So it doesn’t make sense to spend money on redesigning the base module and maintaining two production lines to save a few dollars in components for other variants …
You are showing newer short wing 70km range variant vs long wing old GNSSless 40km variant. As well you show only INS module which is in every Kh-38M, not GNSS
Where do you see them listing a GNSS version along with a non-GNSS version?
why is there any point in disscussing the older variant?
There are old brochures and new brochures man. It’s just that simple
See the subtitles.
“Compartment with an inertial satellite control system”
Which just makes sense
You want to supplement the INS with GNSS to correct for its drift
And it makes sense to put the GNSS module in the same compartment …
…
Did you even read your own source on your bug report?
That isn’t his source
It doesn’t mean there are two variants
It only means it doesn’t strictly need the GNSS guidance (I.e. in a GNSS-denied or spoofed environment it can still work by disabling the GNSS guidance)
GNSS is provided by the “base module”
That’s just mental gymnastics
How are people still arguing this matter, it’s been already proved that the missile doesn’t exist at all by @MythicPi

Just look at my screenshot
What do you see in the subtitle/voice over?
“Compartment with an inertial satellite control system”
Now what do you see in the graphics?
“INS + Equipment compartment”
Where’s the mention of GNSS?
Why the subtitle/voice over says “Inertial + Satellite” but the graphic only shows “INS” with no mention of GNSS?
Because as I explained in my report, that’s what they mean by “INS” here.
They just make no mention of it because it’s not very necessary to mention it …
???
So you don’t trust Gunjob
Edit nvm I didn’t see you replied to another guy
It would be better tho if you quote the initial post from gunjob
Read what I sent above, new Kh-38 yes, ok, probably has GNSS in main part, for old Kh-38, GNSS was part of Kh-38MK seeker
Do we have the old one in game or the new one?
Because if the answer is the new one, you are making a pointless argument
By performance it’s old, by visual model ML seems to be old, MT to be new. @sudo_su1 is arguing about all of that cos he thinks 70km range missile has less warhead tho both brochures for 40km and 70km say “up to 250kg” (which is standard phrase for all missiles since there can be slight disperency due to normal manufacturing inaccuracies).
This thread is about the MT so…
And there will not be 2 separate production lines for the booster so if one has it all have it
