In reply to the discussion: Congressman shows never-before-seen video at military UFO hearing [View all]Jirel
(2,369 posts)This type of missile is slow, armor piercing, and meant for destroying stationary and slow moving targets on the ground. It requires laser guidance, in other words a human painting the target with a laser. It is iffy against targets moving at even highway speed. It is not impossible to hit a flying object, but unlikely unless relatively large and non-moving or slow moving. They do not explode with proximity, but are triggered by a square hit on a mass.
The video does not show what the liars claim. When you watch it you see a couple things. First, the object is hit, and damage is done - just not explosive damage. Second, the object IS tumbling, going down after the strike. The video does not continue long enough to show the fate of the object.
Long story short, the object is lightweight and slow, likely a balloon or a light drone. The tumble looks most like a damaged balloon. The missile hit enough to damage, but did not hit with sufficient force to trigger explosion. So it kept moving, and the object was damaged, tumbled, and went down off-screen.
