    yeah, but the subprojectiles aren’t. I ain’t a weapons guy, so idk what the practical effect of getting hit with thousands of tiny tungsten balls moving at supersonic speeds would be, but I’m guessing it ain’t pretty for a jet either. I guess the question is, can it hit targets moving that fast?

    the fact they’re using them against cruise missiles would suggest yes, but since they have so few of them I imagine they won’t be deployed close enough to the front to encounter manned Russian aircraft. so we might not get to find out.
