I wonder why there hasn’t been a sighting of the Kh-38MT IRL yet… I wonder why it’s not compatible with the newer fighters that are coming out… It’s almost like after 900 messages, people still can’t find proof it exists because it doesn’t.
Well this is a blog I guess? Nothing official, but what official document I did see on another site did agree with the introduction date.
I would like to ask the @Forum Moderators if anyone of them is online to pm so I can see if another link is okay, it’s not official I believe, but I’d rather ask them.
But regardless, I have been able to find 5 sources that all say it’s in service, perhaps in some limited capacity, but it is for sure being used.
Thats isnt a source, thats a blog rehashing the info from brochures, which is what literally ALL info I’ve found about the MTE is. Every single post, article, or blog mentionning the Kh-38MT references one of the markwtting brochures if you dig deep enough.
Its even using a picture of a mockup ffs. You cant ACTUALLY believe this is a legitimate source?!
If its on public government website, its not classified.
For example, I have an roe.ru source which has all mentions of the Kh-38MTE and any IR guidance option removed (the most up to date version of their website afaik): Х-38МЛЭ
