KH25MTP is an IR-guided version of the Kh-25MT, which has a lower speed and shot range(same 10km as KH25), compared to the KH38MT. SU25sm3 with KH38MT is not necessary, I believe when it comes out, it was designed for Russian Toptier CAS, but after adding SU34 and SU30SM(I don’t want to discuss in this topic), SU25SM3 was totally replaced, due to the KH38MT, it is impossible to let su25sm3 goes to 11.7, but if we delete KH38 and use KH25MTP to replaces it, it could be consider as a 11.7 CAS plane, this is pretty important for the next BR extension, it could be same as A10C/F111F/Harriers cas planes which no need suffer in toptier anymore

Its a good proposal especially given this:

Frankly speaking, I don’t wanna discuss KH38MT too much. Based on its performance in the game, there is no need for SU25SM3 to be a toptier CAS. And it is also necessary for Russia to get a lower-tier CAS in 11.7 after the BR extension

Yeah, so its a win win
Maybe they can add it with the Su-25SM, the variant before the SM3
SM3 is enough, we do have too many SU25 now
the SM would just be a folder vehicle
would be great for the 11.7 does it get thermals at all?
Only SM3 has thermal imager
Yes, KH25MTP is the thermal version
Here is the report, I just C&P with a website link, may close because it sounds like a suggestion

Make Su-39 great again.
It actually has 20km range
? Does it need thermal? not like we’ve been going years without it for as long as we did.
Just equal to other CAS at this BR, unless you wanna another AGM65D version
wouldnt it be another 65D anyway?
also if its good enough which it prolly will (more explosive = kills better) remove 38MT for unrealistic and replace it with this would be fine
I prefer it could be another AGM65G
One paper missile with another paper missile… sounds soviet, comrade!
