Filming was done by Stanley Kubrick Studios.

Correctly or not, I’ve thought of missiles like those as big shotgun shells mounted to rockets. They get close and fire.

Missiles don't hit the target they blow up next to the target. Unless they are penetrating armor. The proximity fuse was one of the things that won the War for the allies. The third most top secret tech of the War. (A- bomb, radar)

Vastly overrated. It's hit ratio is garbage and it's penetration is even less. The A-10 is much more successful as a meme generator and propaganda tool than an actual tank killer.

Correct, the sidewinder fam of missile's are constant bearing tracking with proxy fuse.
Lastest gen can be updated by datalink to get to the target most efficiently, or allowing a shot on an target way out of field of view.

Are you aware there are cameras in the world other than the ones in an iphone?

Well according to sources, the Max Service Ceiling on the F-22 is only 50k feet...

Thats not the absolute ceiling of the raptor though.
For anyone’s interested in a quick but thoughtful breakdown, this guy is a former F-16, F/A-18 and T-38 red air pilot (and a Louisiana guy)
The FIRST F-22 Air to Air Kill is a Chinese Spy Ballon?

Hopefully it "veered off course", exactly like the "weather balloon" and ended up somewhere in china. Of course, we are simply testing the aerodynamics of our missiles when they have slight directional malfunctions. Nothing to worry about, Mr. Chinaman!

So does anyone know if they collected any of the equipment it was carrying for analysis? Or did it all get shredded and/or sink to the bottom if the ocean.
