what i usually did, 100% if its important
I hope not cause I said I would buy a bottle of champagne to toast this pile of useless whataboutism if it got that far.
you better ready to buy that bottle of champagne
Honestly I think people would still deny its existence if Putin personally invited them to ride shotgun in an Su-30 and blow something up on a test range. They would say that the missile that they fired was probably GNSS guided and that the IR image on the scope was much worse quality than russia reported and that the entire footage was probably fabricated by chatGPT outright.

As far as I can see, this thread is still just the 3 Russian Mains in Chief defending Kh-38MT as something Russia needs cus “balance” heh.

What is certainly possible to say is that the quoted specs of 270mK sensitivity and 4 kelvin’s worth of contrast required to lock on are far worse than what is portrayed in game.

Love how there still hasn’t been any definitive proof that someone could say “Yup that’s a KH-38MT.”

how does it compare to ingame
which plays in to the likely way the seeker works irl, similar to stormshadows IR guidance phase and hamemrs.
Nope.
The Brochure specifically stated contrast, If it were using correlation techniques (as with the Hammer with Correlation, IR-TERCOM is used by the Storm Shadow and is something else) it would be able to function without target background contrast and attack a zero contrast target, which is obviously not the case.
So it should be a very shit maverick. it’s seeker is about a magnitude less sensitive. All it would really be suitable is as an Anti-Ship missile or very large & hot facilities (e.g. power station).

Thanks for the enlightenment. Seems my crack theory of it being a replacement for the early KH-59 variants might be true after all.
The resolution of the sensor itself is fine (assumedly, though as to what exactly is being used to set the resolution I don’t know), the thing is that it should have nowhere near the level of detail nor lock on range it does currently, especially for smaller targets.
Pretty much. When presented with a more balanced alternative and br adjustments, they will do anything in their power to dodge the question.

*we found a picture of something mounted to a plane that we can’t verify it’s a 38MT.
I assume that brochure wouldn’t be enough for a bug report.

They’re not selling anything at the airshow itself. Be real. Its a showcase of what they could make and how it could look if it were real.

yeah we sell them at supermarkets lol, bro you really thought you did something there lmao.
it still is
if you check wayback machine it hasnt been updated in at least like 10 years where in the same timeframe the RU version was updated to removed mention of 38MT hence the EN version is by definition out of date
can you make a bug report?
if they arent gonna remove the fake missile they might as well make it match the made up stats for the seeker

I dont know how many times I need to tell yall you can have two forks of the same website in two languages be valid for two separate audiences. RU website is for internal use, EN for external which is now even more clear since we have promo material in English from zhuhai 2024. If what you say is true then the zhuhai brochure should either be in russian or chinese but its neither.
