The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

If you switch the language to EN in the same link, it does mention all four variants …

ROE recently re-designed their website so I wouldn’t read too much into stuff being missing (And this page is for MLE variant anyways).

A few weeks ago as I was making reports, the link in my reports would break because they were constantly changing page addresses and their website was buggy etc.

But how do I PM you? Or other mods?

It was definitely the MT, I made sure all variants were there.

I mean, the russian language version is more likely to be most up to date

and we know that at one point they were mentioned so unless it was removed and then re-added to the english version without being added back for russian its a pretty good indication that the program is dead

Or it’s not a priority…

yeah its not a priority to remove the mentions from the english version because the people likely to call them out on it would view the russian page where they are removed

Welcome back good old Korean War games )))))

Yea they call them out in English right? that its why all marketing for military expo are on English right?. That page its mostly for Export BTW.

you mean the people who would have made the decision to cut funding would look at the russian page right? while export customers who might fund development would look at the english one.

You have no evidence of that at this time, that’s the point of this topic.

This topic started at the beginning of the weekend and it’s not even the end of the upcoming week.

It wouldnt be the first time russia gets propaganda only tech… :/
I have a brochure there is a nazi base on the dark side of the moon. Why not add some of the vehicles and weapons from this brochure to the german TT?

The main advantage of ML is its cheapness.After all, a laser finder is several times cheaper than an IR

There is no page for any other variants, and I have switched the website language and dont see the MT or the IR guidance option mentionned either. Im still not sure why you see it.

Incompatible fire control system

if the fire control system is incompatible with something = it cannot work

e.g. if ur computer is incompatible with windows 11 = u cannot use windows 11

off topic

The HE-VT shell is literally a self encompassing shell.
Its not like AHEAD that it needs some linking to the FCS.
What proof do you even have that the fcs isnt compatible. The brochure says it has it.
Also thr bofors 57mm cannon can use it. Why not the begleitpanzer?

Unequal analogy

scouring the russian side of internet did not really prove to be useful - i did not find any concrete sources.
there ARE mentions of the missile, even its seeker head - 9-Б-7738 (supposedly an IR seeker, but no further information about it)
https://www.fsvts.gov.ru/catalog/771.ru.html
this source mentions the MTE variant - the one with IR+IOG guidance

this one mentions its seeker, but no more useful information
according to this GRAU table its either a TV or IR seeker:

Seeing as the russians have generally stayed away from putting IR seekers on AGMs, if we look at the Kh-25, there was only a prototype MTP with an IR seeker. There was no Kh-29 with an IR seeker.
So i suspect that the Kh-38MT, even if it exists, must have only a TV seeker
