I'd guess that, since it's video taken from a video game... the kill probability can be adjusted in the the "settings" page.
It's CGI guys.

I watched it a couple of times and it appears that there are several gun positions doing the firing - but still, an impressive display. That battery must go through a WHACK-load of ammunition and replacement barrels as this stuff happens every day over there.
Yeah... just call me Mr. Spoilsport...Really? Pop my bubble...

I wonder if the Palestinians have a similar system for Israeli bulldozers... /offtopic
Doesn't the US Navy have a similar system?
Yes. We have the Phalanx gun. 20mm anti-missile/helicopter system. Total badass designed to put a buttload of lead in the air in a minimal amount of time, to put an end to, well, whatever....
Talking about Barn finds for bikes/cars................how often are there barn finds for WWII aircraft........

Buddy just sent me this a minute ago... . Musta showed up in one of them apps that show you random stuff from the past. 8 years ago today. This was the last time either one of us flew the Falcon LS. We had found out a few days before, that the boss was a crook. Spent a few hrs chasin' birds up the Missouri River... dancin' around the clouds... just generally havin' a grand ol' time. By the time we landed we both knew what to do. Went back to the big hanger, loaded up our tool boxes and told the boss to eff off. Kinda bittersweet....
That's my buddy in the cockpit and me behind the prop.

I was at my usual Carl's Jr eating breakfast or lunch and I hear something unusual flying my direction and I saw what I believe to be an autogiro. Wasn't a Benson Gyrocopter. It was enclosed 2 place cockpit, tricycle geared, rear engine craft passed over. It didn't have the pronounced "whop- whop" sound like a helicopter.
The Phalanx has been successfully used in Iraq and Afghanistan too for shooting down incoming mortars. I was walking in front of one at Ballad in 2007 when it snapped to life and fired a burst over my head. It hurt. but a few thousand feet up and away was a puff of smoke and dust as the target was destroyed.
And if the Tactical Actions Officer (TAO) on board the USS Stark trusted his enlisted operators, the ship would never have been struck by the two Iraqi Exocet missiles. It was only good fortune that one did not explode. Still tragic that 37 sailors died.
If it’s not Boeing, I’m not going!Today on the VFT. Who woulda thought.
(At least until 737 Max)
How cool is the B-2 bomber? You don't see it, you don't hear it. On radar, it has the signature of a freakin' bird. And the only indication the bad guys have that its around is when stuff starts to blow up! Thank God (and the U.S.A.) we're the only ones that have them... and Batman....
TRUE DEFINITION OF A CO-PILOT ~ NO BETTER EXPLANATION HAS EVER EVOLVED!
Years ago on a long Trans-Continental flight, an elderly lady (Gina) asked if she could visit the cockpit. When she got up there, she found four crew. She asked the first what he did, and he explained that he was the Navigator and his responsibilities were to keep the aircraft on its track across the earth.
She turned to the next one and asked what he did. He explained that he was the Flight Engineer and his job was to monitor and troubleshoot any aircraft or engine system problems to keep the aircraft operating smoothly. She turned to the next one and asked what he did. He explained that as the Captain he was responsible for everything in the aircraft and to fly and direct everyone in it.
She turned to the First Officer and asked, "Well young man, what is your job?"
He replied "Ma'am, I am the captain's sexual advisor."
Somewhat shocked, she said, "I beg your pardon young man, but what do you mean by that?"
"Very simple ma'am. The captain has told me on a number of occasions that when he wants my f@cking advice, he'll ask me for it

True story. First a little background... In the old days, Pilots weren't allowed to captain past 60yrs old. A lot of captains then kept on flying as flight engineers... as there wasn't an age restriction for engineers. Captains had 4 bars on their epaulets and engineers (and first officers) had 3. Captains who went back to the engineers seat were allowed to keep their 4 bars out of respect at some airlines. Got all that? Good.
So... I bummed a ride on a DC-8 freighter one night to get home from Boston (I think) after a grueling 2 weeks on the road. The engineer was a grizzled old captain (4 bars). He and I hit it off right away. Unlike a lot of captains back then, he was as down to earth as they come. Anyways.... periodically during the flight, this red light would light up on his panel. He'd flip a few switches and the light would go out. Don't recall what the problem was, but it was an indication problem only... that he easily stayed on top of. About an hour into the flight the light popped on and the (young-ish) captain happened to turn around and see it. "How long's that light been on" he asked. The engineer said "about a week and a half now." The captain started to launch into this tirade about how he was in charge and he needed to know when there was a problem with HIS airplane when the engineer cut him short and said "you just turn around and fly this f*cking thing and let me worry 'bout the lights." The captain turned around and never said another word to the engineer for the rest of the flight. Took everything I had not to fall out of my chair laughing.
