Kh-31 loadouts

Wikipedia states Russian Su-27SM, Su-30, Su-33, Su-34, Su-35, MiG-29M, MiG-29K and Su-24M as Kh-31 (A,P) launch platforms.
However, a link there it cited (#4) mentions only Su-17M, Su-24M and Su-30MK for that role.
DB3000 build 409 has only Kh-31 loadouts for Su-34, MiG-29K and Su-24M out of those.
I don't now how accurate Wikipedia is for Kh-31, so I wonder - is that intended for CMANO or loadouts just weren't added yet?

P.S. Devs, thank you for such a great game!

Doubt the Mig-21bis UPG carried it operationally. Perhaps a test aircraft?

According to several (albeit czech sources) i can confirm that the very latest MiG-21bis UPG (MiG-21-93, which was first flown in 1995) can carry one piece of Ch-31P/A (AS-17 Krypton) missile.

So the 21-93 upgrade was indeed adopted by someone? (Other than Indian Bisons) Pray tell.

Thanks for your feedback Windom [8D]

But "can carry" and "uses operationally" is not quite the same thing, and we're going with the "uses operationally" in the database.

Thanks!

I'm not seeing the option to load any KH-31 A's to the SU-34, SU-24M, or SU-24M2 via loadout. All are listed as "Air Force" but I can't find any Navy variants in the DB (these are meant to be Crimean Defenders, which is a SU-24M Naval Aviation Squadron). I can load the P ARM version just fine. I have been able to load them with the MiG-29K "Navy". I'm using 1.06, DB3000 Build 420 in a scenario set in 2017.
