If you have any documents confirming it was tested, you’re welcome to post them. In the absence of such, it’s reasonable to assume it wasn’t tested

You have zero authority.And write all sorts of nonsense here.Untested products are not offered for sale.

In modern Russia, no one has ever presented the test results of any weapon
Who will sell something that has never been tested before and does not know how it works.Your statements about the tests are simply absurd.

That’s not an accurate statement at all. Plenty of products are only ever shown off at trade shows in hopes of getting funding for testing and production. And if they don’t attract any buyers, fade into nothing

There are concepts and computer graphics for this, not a full-fledged rocket.
I disagree, with the modularity of the KH-38 what makes for a better pitch than taking a full up missile and doing a quick mockup for a separate seekerhead. It shows it could very quickly and easily be tested and integrated. That doesn’t mean it ever made it farther than that.
No one is denying the existence of the KH-38ML for a reason. It’s very clearly in production and service. The same cannot be said of the MT, flat out.

For the MT version, you just need to change the finder and you will get kh-38ML, kh-38MT
Right, but if it’s so easy, why is it so difficult to find actual evidence?
And just because it is a simple change, doesn’t mean it is a simple matter of integration onto an aircraft.

All at least mocked up and offered for sale but never went further.
It’s is very common.
Obviously, the price of such a rocket is high, but its use is not clear.A laser finder is better for bridge supports.There are umpc and heavier rockets for buildings.

Which is just showing the existence of a patent for a TV/IR seeker. It shows nothing of the pairing of it to the KH-38M, nor it’s integration onto an aircraft.

And if looking at apple Valve and other big companies they are patentering Things all the time doesn’t really mean anything
Sometimes it’s just there to prevent competitor’s to try to develop something similar

E stands for export.
Show off in 2021 doesn’t mean it was ever manufactured
