barrel-launched missile

[skimyy]

I want to see the impact! come on!!

[thenoobfactor]

That exact clip is from a sabot round being fired from the 120mm main gun of an M1A2 Abrams tank. This is not, in any way a missle.

[TankNutJohn89]

It is the M256 Main Gun of the M1 Abrams, the Ammunition he shoots, was

the XM1111, also known as MRM-KE ( MRM-CE )

It is a Anti Tank Guided Missile which have a Range of 12km by an Penetration

of over 900mm Steel, it is an another class then the Russian 9K911M Sniper-B

which have a Range of 5km by a Penetration of 700mm RHA.

@TankNutJohn89

thanks for the ID, TankNut

[aarondhp20]

It's a SABOT round of some sort. That isn't a barrel, it's the main gun of a tank. Recoilless rifles don't have recoil.

[MrTankfanatic]

just to let u guys know thats an uranium anti tank round not a rocket

[Blitzkrieg613]

Nice halo music remix :)

[inkymon]

ok. listen. every halo song but that one was good. oh yah. if you dont have halo, GET IT!



[gcmsboy1234]

i know its real but how the hell did the camera keep up with it. It moves as fast as a bullet

[MidNight8181]

@gcmsboy1234 A high speed camera??

[xKalphax]

i love halo :)

[dvdprui]

don't quote me but I'd say a copperhead or an At11. I'd say at11 testfire, judging by the barrel's rings (looks like hte 2A46)

[NimDod]

@dvdprui

The copperhead has wings in the midsection of it.

also, their shapes are a little bot dofferent - the copperhead doesnt have the pointy nose that this missile has.

and the AT-11 has only 4 fins on it's tail, and thay are a bit larger than the ones in this footage

[poptoping]

Ive seen these before but still cant put my finger on the producer of this 105mm round so far

[cawabouga]

and there a taliban face at the end

[yaoifan890]

Not a missile, its an armour piercing shell fired from a sabot

[lrecollet]

hey NimDod...... this is not a missile...its a projectile, it doesnt even come close to bein classed as missile......

[omnianti0]

howtiwers use guided shell with rocket for adding range : maybe its the same tech ?

in fact i got a boubt about the internal storage in a little turet of russian tanks

[hamishe100]

Marg bar Khameni jalad

[Marauder119]

Trust me its not any missile weapon its an very fast projectile what is build for destroying armored trains and factory´s.

in germany this granade for an tank is named " Bunkerbrecher"

[84efgb]

looks like a projectile to me,not a missile-correct me if I am wrong...a missile has it's own means of propulsion whereas a projectile as this one obtains it's momentum by a place of origin(gun/platform bla,bla,bla)

[NimDod]

@84efgb

you have a point there...

[mihan73]

@84efgb u r right, it's not a missle

[moveyourassets]

its a tank round not a missile dumb shit.....

[NimDod]

there's a thing called 'barrel-launched systems'.

google it, potty mouth.

[Weedus2]

Its realy a missile.Russian Tanks since the T72 have the abbility to shoot Missiles like the "Konkurs" trough their smoothboore Barrels

[SSJSasuke777]

Dude How Are we able to track somthing that fast its amazing the tripod or turret or whatever holding the camera must be like Zip!

[fruchttragend]

Dude you have ever see the optical filming/tracking device for the Space Shuttle...

The track system is done with RADAR and the high speed camera is history.

Look it up.. This is nothing with the RADAR tracking devices dude!

[SSJSasuke777]

Ohhhh So a a camera doesnt even move really fast it just radar bouncing back off and sending a picture back but how can it give us colored pictures. Could you Speculate more

[fruchttragend]

Come on, dont need to be an ass hole to reply that way..

A RADAR Tracking system tells a computer controled trcking Video System, the frames per second, the speed of the Munition, the calculated trayectory, the fly path, and even the range of the target to adjust the focuas, lenses, etc in the Trackin Video System..

Then again look it uo right here on YT, is the same one used to track the Sapace Shutle and other advance Extreme High Speed Events.

Come on son, behave!

[SSJSasuke777]

I wasnt being an asshole I just didnt understand

[fruchttragend]

Thats ok dude, no problem...

I can understand that..

PD: Excuse my horrible gramma, i was writing in the night, and barely saw the keybooard. And excuse me to call you asshole dude.

Peace!

[SSJSasuke777]

No Prob Hey Whats your name

[fruchttragend]

You mean my nickname or my real name??

My nickname means Fruitful, Fructifero, a person that is producful in many ways..

My name is Klauss

[SSJSasuke777]

Alright My Name is Steve Hey Why Dont WE PM Eachother it looks weird to be commenting back and forth

[legosupe]

Look at the blue wave

[samarigil66]

the begining sounds like halo music

[HiM321123]

It is dumbfuck

[tubzza]

it IS halo music

[chinny756]

@samarigil66 That's because it is

[fruchttragend]

This is NOT a missile, is a proyectile from artillery (in this case fired from 120mm cannon) and the name of the round is The MRM-KE, also known as X-Rod, is a 120mm precision guided munition for use by the M256 tank gun found on the M1 Abrams. It was designed to fullfill a requirement for Future Combat Systems for a long range, Beyond Line of Sight tank munition.

Jesus everybody dosnt have a clue. At least google shits up!!

[legosupe]

DUDE!!  nice search

[fruchttragend]

Thank mate, at least someone with decency to read the ID description..

Thank you very much for reply bro!

[TheNayNayRemix]

that my friend is a discarding Sabot and the litle missle looking thing is the core. it has a caseing around it and as it fires out the barrell the caseings break off. a similar kind of shell is used by american Abrams tanks. this is only wat it looks like to me but im shure it is a discarding sabot

[NimDod]

It's too big for a sabot round.

the sabot's is not much wider than a broomstick while this projectile is as wide as the tank's barrel which is 120 or 125mm.

[fruchttragend]

Its a 120mm round, the rest is wrong about the X-ROD mate

[VickersIndependent]

@NimDod That and why would a sabot that's fin stabilized spin so much in flight? Also the are no visable petals in front of the main gun.

[NimDod]

@VickersIndependent

fin stabilized sabot rounds spin also.

If you look closely at the fins, you would see that that all have a "wing" shape, which causes them to spin.

They spin slowly, not like regular bullets. At least in the 105mm rounds that I know.

[VickersIndependent]

@NimDod Actually the fins are ment to prevent the round from spinning in flight,as a sabot spins it can in-fact wobble in flight. Although the wobble isn't very discernable. As for the 105mm sabots spinning in flight you are right.Despite the sabots having a slip-ring for rifled guns they still have some spin.

[NimDod]

@VickersIndependent

I thought that the sabot was meant to spin, and that the fins which are supposed to stablize it in flight aslo suppose to spin it just a little bit.

I hope this picture would make what I'm trying to say more clearly:

[fruchttragend]

WRONG

[Wast3m]

Not A Missile, Not Russian. No Warhead, KE round.. Very Hard can ID it, too little information.

[fruchttragend]

Do you at least google it??

Shhiiiiiiiittttttttt

[dwkfym1]

to get into more detail, it is supposed to be a kinetic device (similar to sabot rounds) that is boosted and guided, fired out of a tank gun.

[3fitzgrld]

COOL ass smoke ring at 0:04!

[jengkollovers]

its russian missile intended to equip the T series MBT

[Helge192]

LOOOOOL, at one point, cortana from halo says "alert, detecting covenant moving" xDDD

anyways, good video

[huntercd]

it looked like Roland3. a German-French SHORAD missile.

[irfank58]

good video

[viewer2342]

Take a high-speed camera, and turn it automatically, coupled to the fire button?

[centraldrummer]

thats what i was thinkin... how in the world can someone video tape a rocket flyin through the air and still keep it in the center of the screen

[GabeMeli]

how were they able to capture that???

[berryland1jmm]

hmm it has an israeli link at the beginning maybe its an israeli tank?

[NimDod]

the link is of a daily video site.

I dont think its Israeli, because the cannon looks eastern. probebly a 125mm.

the only Israel berral launched missile that I know of is the Lahat - and thats not it.

[Temperdgrump]

If its an artillery peace its probably excalibur guided munition, if its a tank could be x-dart.

[Kelnx]

I tried to ID the tank by the business end of the barrel, but it doesn't match any I know. It should be a Sabra if that really is from Israel, but that barrel looks nothing like a Sabra MBT. The closest is a T-series tank, but that makes no sense.

[NimDod]

its not the sabra. the Sabra has a 120mm cannona with its gas clearing thingie (i have no idea how they call it in english) on the 1/3 of the cannnon - close to the turret, while this cannon has it on the 2/3, like soviete 125mm cannons

[Kelnx]

Yes, hence the "looks nothing like a Sabra" and the "closest is a T-series"

:D

[seedofanarchy]

I think the T-series is a russian series of tanks.

[braddsn]

Its a 120mm Depleted Uranium Sabot round. You can see the sabot sleeve break into pieces as the round leaves the barrel.

[D14852001neko]

its not a missle, it a type of ammunitition used by tanks for a more precise shot, a missle uses its own propulsion method...

which is the song btw?

[NimDod]

you have a point. can you ID that tank shell?

the song sounds like a remix of some samples from the video game Halo.

[D14852001neko]

I think it a russian AT-8 songster, or an AT-6 Spiral

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A­T-8_Songster

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A­T-6_Spiral

[D14852001neko]

I answer to myself, the song is Never Surrender by Nile Rodgers and Natara from the Halo 2 Soundtrack (which I had for a long time, but never heard of, duh!)
