fake!
[Stop it… just stop it!!! – ed.]
Not fake but somewhat rigged. The article brings up the question why are there flames on the target before the blast actually hits it. They say it’s from the IR radiation of the detonation. But in a lot of those tests where weapons manufactures are trying to impress the generals, the target is loaded with explosives that detonated near the instant of impact.
#1 I’ll take that bet.
Got a title?
Short story to go with it.
So you don’t like being in the dark? You want a light so you’ll feel safe?
Here’s your bleeping light! Now do you feel safe?
Interesting video. It does appear that there are distinct advantages to not being on the receiving end of that kind of encounter.
#3 you can’t be blamed for your ignorance of elementary physics (maybe), but you can be blamed for being a douche about it.
Total fake. Impossible. I only had high school physics; assuming that you did too, if you didn’t learn anything from that then you’re part of the problem.
This is a very interesting photo, but if you’re going to simulate a target, why use an aircraft. Perhaps a building, for example a primary school or an old-folks home. This would be a much more real-to-life simulation.
No need to click the pic. It’s a cruise missile functioning over a scrap fighter jet used as a target. Either China Lake or Holloman AFB. This is from the 1980s.

I am only guessing here, but most antitank air ordinance use bomblets? The airburst blasts the secondary clusters onto the target, where they detonate?
In the 80’s we were machining parts for the gyro of cruise missiles. We were gathered for an informal meeting and told what the parts were for and that if the parts were not perfect that the missiles would not hit their targets.
Sometimes I feel guilt even though the parts were machined in tolerance.
