  • Its not fake. This is possible with a camera placed far away with a telescopic lense. The camera does not have to pan so much form right to left to follow the trajectory. It only takes a mathematical calculation & a computer controlled motorised tripod mount to pan the camera if the projectile speed is known. Normally I would say its not rocket science but in this case it is!!

  • the camera would be set to move at the same speed as the missile either on a set of tracks or just rotating to the left.

  • why does part of it break away half way through??

  • Great shot but I bet this is not the first take.

  • Good camera man.

  • SOOO I CAME TO BOOTY SHAK'EN VIDS TO HERE.??

  • @declan332 It's actually done with a mirror. The camera is set up facing away from the projectile with the mirror being set on the motorized mount. The mirror faces the projectile and turns while the camera remains stationary. This way, depending on the distance the mirror is from the camera, the mount doesn't have to travel as fast as if it were moving the camera itself.

  • @MagicCat3 Lol, nothing so far.

  • @kovona lol have fun finding out exactly what it is...

  • @MagicCat3 Looks like some extended range munition seeing how there's a lack of a motor exhaust (probably on delay). Serious though, what is this? Doesn't look Russian, and from its head cone it doesn't look guided. That thing that blew off was a soft alloy "slip band" used for rifled tank guns, which means its British. But the Brits don't seem to have ERM for their tanks yet, so thats a dead end.

  • @W3STON92 Its probably just a simple radar tracking camera like they use in NASA.

  • @supramanz no, that was a tank fired missile. A tank round is a piece of metal with explosive stuff behind it.
