Be very careful with that picture mate, it’s likely to not be allowed due to the rules regarding the current conflict.
the idea that old walleyes needed something special in order to be made on the documentation side…
they said something about the people in photos having to be censored which is done here
Gaijins all about cold hard cash as you put it but nothing modern in this game gets added without a licensing agreement and with that usually comes with the ability to come view the item in question and take measurements for 3d modelling, and get basic specifications like weight etc and from there gaijin makes inferences. If gaijin was operating how you claim they would have been DMCAed or if not that then sued into the ground as soon as they started touching later mbts and aircraft. And thats a fact of the gaming industry at large with the most prominent example of licensing in this case being what Ace Combat does.
It was an example off the top of my head. There are better ones admittedly but I CBA thinking about them in the moment.
That is around marketing licenses. Marketing. Using the visual likeness of an item in a game.
Purchasing a license to put an abrams in a video game doesnt’ grant you access to detailed armour specifications. Purchasing a license to put a f-35 in a game doesn’t grant you access to it’s RCS data.
They are entirely different things.
Fair enough!
You can believe what you want but I can almost guarantee part of the licensing contract is allowing them limited archival access.
As for the two examples you listed they are nowhere near basic specifications. Those would be advanced and ITAR restricted.
Anyway this was fun (not) im going to make food.
thanks for reposting proof that it is only a mockup
Model
Not only that, but it also says it has “inertial + semi-active laser” guidance, so it already is using info from the ML
So… you can buy model of kh38… that world is so…
Funnily enough, they might be the literal makers of the MTE shown during MAKS, as they even show a photo of it
Further confirming that it’s just a model and just non functioning
So does that mean, after 8300 posts, we finally have a more concrete answer to if it’s real or not?
Well, they apparently make all sorts of rockets and stuff for a lot of companies. They also have a midget X-38.
New AGM for Russia, they can now carry triple the amount of standard KH-38s for 50% less range (this is satire)
sounds too real
Well, technically you could say that this is an official order for the X-38MTE model
we’ve known this for a while, some people just refuse to admit that it probably isnt real
Man they got the whole lineup sitting here. Very likely these guys made these yes (the Kh-58 isn’t in this picture I think, but they made one too).
Kh-38MT here doesn’t have a seeker, but they make them as well, and very realistic ones at that. Example from their Kh-59:
description of the product also confirms these seekers are not real and have been used for display on air shows (MAKS).
Well, i guess that shakes the MT debate once again.
