That is seriously cool actually, I knew they spent a long time in the air, but it's a different story to actually see it in action.

Amazing video actually.

US M795 does 22400 meter range at 830 m/s muzzle velocity. That's 27 seconds minimum in the air, longer with drag.

Is that factoring in the ballistic arc, or a direct line?

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Straight line, I think the arc is 1.41x longer.

There’s a video? I’m just seeing a still image.

I guess uploading through Boost doesn't work for all instances? check out the comment from finlandia I think they added it for people of other instances

Tiny gif there yeah, but I can’t full screen or scrub. Your post is a still image with play button, like you screenshot the video.

On Voyager FWIW
