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
with his logic it exists, they just didnt deem it neccessary to mention it
Its also make sense on Winged missile. Because the seeker not need to rotate that much Its just follow the fly path locking down.
Yea i wasn’t to date with the thread. Funny how some people still copium about it not being real. The only argument these people have its that “Muh Russian can’t produce IR seeker”. While thing like LMUR has being use a lot in the last years. IMO Kh-38MTE main target are SHIPS. That they haven’t see combat.
Because no one has provided any actual evidence of this missile other than a brochure and a mockup.
The video is titled “Kh-38MLE” so it makes sense for them to not mention the IR seeker …
But just look at the subtitle / voice-over and then at the graphic
Graphic says “INS”
Subtitle / voice-over says “Inertial satellite”
I.e. by INS they mean INS + GNSS
They just sometimes omit explicitly mentioning it because there’s little point in mentioning it
Its not the main guidance method in these variants and it’s only used to correct for INS drift …
It’s kinda like a $2M luxury car making mention of having seat belts …
we literally have a picture of it being mounted to a plane
Still doesn’t change the fact that its gamebreaking and should’ve been removed from the game months ago (here we can see how Gaijin favors Russia so much), but now we can wait untill we see the new SPAAs and how they’re going to perform against it.
funny how you changed argument because it isnt fake
Just joined the thread, there was more than 200 replies and didn’t see Gunjoobs response, so my point still stands.
yeah i fogor
“Normal” GNSS modules are not “active” nor “homing”
So it’s possible by “Active satellite navigation” and “Active homing device” they mean something more than just regular passive GNSS guidance for the MKE …
And if you agree that the old brochure is very poorly worded then it doesn’t prove anything since by “inertial” they could also mean “inertial + satellite” (And just worded it poorly) just like in the video …
Gaijin doesn’t favour any nation… Did you say this when the US had the best AtG missiles?
There you have his response:
The US AtG missile actually existed tho…
Which got nerfed later, we haven’t seen a single nerf to the KH38MT at all.
do you see a missile on those pylons, because i do
TBF that seems to be a Su-34
I’m yet to see any evidence for Su-30SM carrying Kh-38 or TGP
yes theres “a” missile on that Pylon which is the whole point of this thread
tbf
give it more drag coefficient to make it closer to avg cruise speed
gen 2 thermal and 15x zoom(which is still better than 65D btw)
limit 4 on su-34(brochure mockups) and 0 kh-38 at all on su-30sm(since there isnt any proof of it, even 38ML)
then i think its good enough
