- Short (poor) quality clip showing the terminal area effects of a Hydra 2.75" Hydra flechette rocket.
This was on a controlled range during a test. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Awesome, nothing else like this on CZcams or anywhere else. The closest thing to a flechette video is some footage of the aftermath of some helo pilots in Vietnam firing these at some ammo crates for practice.
Metal detectors worst nightmare.
HAIL HYDRA!
Keep em coming!
Pretty cool. My team helped build those in Ohio. The flechette sleeves were a pain to anodize because they're so thin.
You guys did a great job!
Not as good as the CRV7 rockets here in Canada! Still the Hydra is also a good option.
"Poor" doesn't begin to explain the quality... Very enjoyable either way though, just get your shit together with the video quality.
When you figure out how to improve the video quality of a camera placed in the impact area of a live warhead rocket, you let me know, lol. I'll be happy to pass along the feedback to the test engineers.
In the meantime, enjoy the video of something you'll likely not see in too many other places.
As I am one of the rockets shot in this video, I am honored that I was filmed at all. Cameras existed before the interwebs, and they were average to film with.. I think you can apologise to me and my cylindrical brothers for your insolence
@@Barundus You need to invest some time to build a metal box that will protect the camera equipment, and get it hanged higher in the altitude for better perspective, but you can put it further the distance when you use longer focal length camera.
Simply put, GH5 with external battery powering camera, recording in 4K with 60 FPS.
Get a 200-300 mm lens and you have very nice narrow field of view for capturing that large field size from about 100-200 meters away as long you get it higher from the ground.
As well placing some cheap older model GoPro cameras on sticks in the area for recording downward the impact area. They can be placed on poles or something and opposite side. Changes that they get destroyed is small, but some will, why cheapness is critical factor over time.
A big improvement for the video quality is that camera wouldn't be pointing toward sun but from the sun direction. So that is challenge depending range perimeters.
As well to improve the "quality of content", add some targets that will give the subjectivity a sense, like blue plastic barrels that are about man sized for laying on the ground or similar. Of course if someone would be willing to use a actual man size cardboards it would make a major impact for visualizing the likelyhood to impact.
The Bofors made similar thing for their 3P ammunition decades ago:

One of the top comments from pilot participating the test:
"I don't know if these rounds ever were used after development, but I do remember their costs, about $3,000 per round!"
