The bullets lose momentum once fired, but the jet added momentum after firing, so it’s more like it caught up to the bullets.

Right but what was the speed difference at impact? Like if the jet was only going say, 60 MPH faster than the bullets, wouldn’t it just be like when some gravel on the road bounces off your car on the highway?

Indeed. I read a little more and it did indeed shoot itself down, so… 🤷♂️

Yeah in the end it IS what happened, so I guess the speed difference must have been considerable. I just wonder how it could have been so much. Maybe the afterburners can create a LOT of acceleration/thrust, idk.
