These Slow-Mo Videos Of Drone-Fired Missiles Bring The Video Game Realness

This is what it looks like when a Brimstone missile-equipped MQ-9 Reaper Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) drone decimates targets traveling up to 70MPH from 20,000 feet in the air. Using lasers for accuracy. Basically, it looks like the craziest video game ever, except real things explode in slow motion.

All of these tests were conducted at the US Naval Air Weapons Station in China Lake, California last December and January. They are also just a touch terrifying. You’ve been warned.
