I’ve been kind of curious about this for a while, youtube has a few videos of ICBM tests which show the incoming warheads but they’ve all been slowed down or otherwise manipulated. Does anyone have a link to footage showing the event in real-time?

Thanks!

I’m actually seeing a few videos on YouTube that show apparently real-time footage, under the search term “[MIRV impact](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mirv+impact).” Are any of those what you’d be looking for?

I must have been using the wrong search terms, thank you!

Actually I thought they would have appeared to be moving faster, curiosity satisfied.
