Wonder what is the make of that target ballistic missile, it seems very swift, especially the second stage which was not even leaving back smoke trails :shocked:

The video of the interceptor was interesting during the launch phase, the publisher cleverly had hidden the pop out of the tail section of the missile making us wonder was the tail fins folded or not, if folded how it was unfolded.

and the interception seems to be done by a proximity fuze, I thought it would be a hit-to-kill like that in our AAD
