The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

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

For old at least Kh-38MK satellite module is part of seeker

More like experience

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

This doesn’t mean a variant without SAT doesn’t exist. If that’s the case, they didn’t mention anything about an IR seeker. Therefore with your logic, it doesn’t exist.

On the right it says “Active satellite navigation” and on the left it says “Active homing device”

So it’s possible that the MKE version is more than just a simple passive GNSS guidance
I.e. it either has better GNSS receivers in the seeker section, or some sort of active two-way communication.

Or it’s just poor wording and presentation in the older brochure …

It’s just poor wording. “Active satellite navigation” is like in fact = active homing device, since it’s active, it’s device and used for homing
