I think that's just a ring of smoke from the rocket being launched from the tube. I'm not 100% sure but that sort of looks like and AT4 he's firing and I don't think it's projectile breaks the sound barrier.


ETA: I just checked (yes, when I Google something I let people know) and the AT4 has a muzzle velocity of 950 ft per second. To break the sound barrier a projectile needs to reach a velocity of 1,116 feet per second. So it's close to the speed of sound but not quite there.
