The Kh-38MT may not actually exist

That’s not what I said, don’t put words in my mouth. If you can’t comprehend what I said that’s fine, if you need a finer explanation just say so.

That’s exactly what you said, when someone pointed it out to you you said they were being biased, i comprehend it perfectly

Do you know anything about how Russians show inert weapons? I think we could figure out real vs mockup based on that

inerts one are red on jets. all stationary ones are inert. but if their motor end is well modelled its pretty much real just changed its motor and warhead for a safe placement

something something t14 2s38 something

dont worry its toally legit guys

Do the display picture ones have the inert markings on them? If not, I think it’s safe to say they are mockups, since no one is insane enough to have live weapons on display

Very helpful thank you

look upwards a smidge

my point is there is a difference between mockup and inert
mockup is usually something with barely functional parts
inert is usually fitted with some functional parts like its seeker and its fins

Pretty sure all nations do this…

I know, that’s why I ask, because if it can be proven to be an inert missile displayed, that means there is almost certainly a live one that was made

However if it was just a mockup, then it likely doesn’t exist due to lack of other evidence

Not really something worth interrupting people actually discussing the topic with.

the seeker on the newer missiles shown looks to real to be a mockup for me
other than that its rear motor is decently modelled too

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be inert. It’s just a seeker head swap.

Is there anything else to show it’s inert and not a well made mockup though? For US missiles it’s really easy because of the color of the stripe, but idk Russian ones

It’s the inevitable fate of any large forum thread on here unfortunately.
