This Kh-38ML
300mm
thats not what i was talking about though. its the seeker inside the glass
Not really. Obvously this would be separate from the regular F-14s.
In the current meta (if it was an F-14D like in the picture), it could be 14.0-14.3 easily.
You know it has roughly the same size as a maverick seeker.
So you are saying it is impossible to have an IR seeker that is this small.
Maybe IR mavericks don’t exist as well then

Those are Kh-38ME, the site you linked refers to it as “Kh-38ME”, the inscription also says Kh-38ME.
Have you ever considered that “Kh-38MT” refers to a family of inertial and infrared homing air-to-ground missiles? If you just want to remove it, fine, but in a case of fixing, the most close model is the Kh-38MTE with similiar features to the Kh-38MT in-game.

It is about 200mm, moreover it is a mock-up
They publish what they consider necessary.They don’t count, they don’t show

Interesting you bring that up actually.
The missile was originally known as the Kh-38M missile, with it being a “modular missile” that you could swap guidance sections and warheads for. The E at the end is a designation of them being for export, the second letter was later added as a differentiator between homing heads.
MAE for active radar
MLE for laser
MKE for GPS only
MTE for IR seeker
There are no differentiators for different warheads, there was however 3 different warheads; HE, HE-penetrator (bunker buster), and anti-armor cluster (no longer mentionned on brochures).
The seeker being used on the missile mockups was displayed on the plaques by the missiles, which is how we know which was which before the differentiating notation was added to later mockups.

Thats an MLE, also its pics from the war, which is why I didnt post them, cuz theyre against forum rules.
You can tell its an MLE cuz its the same seeker seen on the Rosoboronexport video for the Kh-38MLE (criss-cross pattern in glass, thick metal band) and also cuz the ppl that posted the picture literally said its an MLE.

War times pictures are allowed if you censor any person.
I do not want to see any photos with visible any crew/civil from ongoing conflicts, any photos of soldiers on duty on these conflicts and anything, that is even close to these topics. I do not care if that will cut half number of photos you post on our this topic. Rules are rules.
May refer only to the thread but also may apply on the entire forum.
pretty sure there was a lot of pictures of Su-35 HUD(From war), Russian-propagand telegram channels and other.
