hi

That was a really inmpressive vid, in training they showed us some videos of Sidewinder rocket motors with cracked propellant inside, they were bolted to a test stand and fired, and the reaction was well stunning to say the least , the burning propellant would fracture the booster case then it was akin to a mad dog chasing its own tail, some landed 1.5 miles away in a welsh hillside.

Amongst other vids we watched was a MILAN AT Missile strike from a tanker gunners point of view and one on the power of ejection seat rockets, when you see a 400kg steel door flung about 50 yards , you develope a strong sense of respect for ejections seats lol hopefully someday those vids will end up on the internet lol
