Effective damage
The Kh-38MT has an HE warhead with 152 kg of TNT equivalent, which is more than enough to kill any vehicle it can face, even from an indirect hit.
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
- A devastating warhead
- It is able to outrange most SPAAs currently found in-game
- Has the ability to loft, which makes it very hard to detect
- Very high speed and acceleration
- Very good maneuverability for a large missile
- It is fairly effective against air targets
Cons:
- No post-launch control
- The lock range may decrease in bad weather conditions.
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
