It’s even worse than that, the Mirage 2000N n°301 used to carry out the AASM firing tests is the property of the DGA (Directorate General of Armaments), the agency that deals with the development of weapons and their integration into the French forces. The problem is that the aircraft is very extensively modified to carry out the firing tests, so it is impossible to know if the AASM would be adaptable on a classic Mirage 2000 without significant changes.
Spoiler
Moreover, the integration of AASM on the Mirage 2000-5F delivered to Ukraine has not yet been confirmed, although it was announced last October, which shows the importance of the modifications. (Even if the 2000-5F does not carry air-ground weapons, the French agencies have all the bases to integrate air-ground equipment on this aircraft)
I think the top of “lense” might be a reflection from some railing in front of it
you can clearly see the edge of the circuit board through it
additionally how the wires are run suggests that the seeker is looking up as they would offer more range of motion if that was the case
finally the orientation of the visible circuitry doesnt make much sense if it is in IIR lense at the bottom as its position and angle would suggest an axis of rotation very recessed into the missile which would significantly lower seeker FOV
I agree. Many are missing from many aircraft. Gaijins reluctance to add GBU options is weird. Typhoon is missing nearly a dozen options across all nations
…Although there isn’t a single picture of it, and the fact that it doesn’t exists Gaijin wont say or do anything about it but if this was america or UK or Germany it would be stripped out the game at first thought.
AASM might be about to get a massive nerf as its looking less and less like it was usable against tanks and other moving targets. Meaning the only really usable version for GRB is the laser guided variant
It was exactly this that prompted mythicpi to double check the KH-38 seeker too
I’m just saying, it’s better than ChatGPT. And I don’t use AI to gather info BUT I have used it occasionally to FIND sources, if I don’t really know where to start looking.
Cause it can launch from 30km and guide from that distance, while the Kh-38MT uses a copy-paste AGM-64D sensor in-game so it’s limited to around 14km tracking range.
By the by, anyone claiming I have a photo of Kh-38MT is lying with malicious intent.
I have no photo, I’ve never had a photo, and I’ve never in my life claimed to have a photo.
