It’s a hellfire kinetic, it isn’t meant to explode.
This dude is a total hack. He definitely intelligent enough to know the arguments he’s making are 100% bullshit. I think this guy, whoever he is, is an actual, real-life example of a paid shill. He follows the playbook, mocking tone, never directly examining the claims he’s making with the video as direct context.
A mid-frame non-lens flare camera artifact on a military equipment is how he explains the way that the line of three objects behaves?? HA. Totally absurd. A balloon? Get fucking real.
The claim that the three objects in the Yemen MQ-9 footage are “camera artifacts” or “balloon debris” is physically impossible upon frame-by-frame analysis:
The “Recovery” Phase: If these were digital “ghosts” or rolling shutter artifacts, they would be mathematically tied to the main object’s movement. Instead, you see them tumble individually post-strike before “snapping” into a perfect linear formation. A sensor glitch doesn’t move from chaos back into order.
Zero Altitude Drop: Watch the fragments after the impact. They don’t follow a ballistic arc toward the water (9.8 , m/s^2). They maintain their exact altitude and continue forward. This requires active propulsion/lift; “dead” debris from a balloon or a shattered drone cannot maintain a horizontal plane.
Targeting Lock (LRD LASE): The HUD shows “LRD LASE DES” is active. The Reaper is painting a solid mass with a laser. Military targeting sensors are built to reject “clutter” and ghosts. If the system was “hallucinating” triple images, the auto-track would have flickered or failed.
Damage Resistance: The Hellfire visibly tore the main body open (deforming the shape), yet the craft didn’t spiral or lose lift. If it were a balloon, it’s a rag; if it’s a drone, the aerodynamics are gone. The fact that it stays operational while “gutted” proves it doesn’t rely on wings or buoyancy to fly.
Bottom Line: Artifacts don’t tumble, recover, and then perform coordinated station-keeping. This is a modular, propulsion-capable craft that survived a kinetic hit and kept cruising.
Look at the frames immediately after the “pop”. The sub-objects fight the kinetic shock, stabilize, and continue the flight path. That isn’t a lens flare; that’s technology. I’ll say it again, dude is a hack and /or shill
