Does anyone have any idea whether this is a fake? It's so hard to figure out what's AI or not these days.
A variety of comments have been made supposedly debunking the videos for their depiction of multi-hundred-gee missile turns, but we on this forum know that multi-hundred-gee anti-ballistic missile interceptors have been a viable technology going back to the 1960s, with SPRINT, HIBEX, and of course the big boy UPSTAGE.
UPSTAGE, tested when Nixon was President and Mao's China was still in the midst of its cultural revolution, was believed to have achieved lateral accelerations of up to 300 g, thanks to an external-burning rocket system thingamawhatsit (this post was thusly initially posted to the UPSTAGE thread, but it probably is better off on its own).
Now as noted above, it is difficult to determine whether or not the specific videos are fakes (it would seem a very expensive developmental test to expend multiple munitions, and the account is fishy), but the technology is certainly not definitively out of reach of the Chinese.

Working at a place for decades can do that to you, especially when you see the top execs openly looting the cash reserves to enrich themselves while sending utterly unqualified underlings to head up critical divisions and projects. No wonder I didn't recognize this as something of theirs!
