    1. I have no idea but blue/violet light has a shorter wavelength so it could be to get a better picture and f something using a visible spectrum detection system. Probably makes a better picture. I have zero clue what it’s actually doing. It was a guess.

      Whenever I see stuff like this I always think – “Where are all those rounds going to land?”

    3. imagine that every red one you see there is around 5 more minimum that are not phospherous, that’s alot of flying metal ! Rock ON !

    4. The glowing things you see are tracers, which is a bullet that glows so the shooter can see where the bullets are going. Typically, for every tracer you see, there is three or four lead bullets in-line with it.

      Probablynot a normal laser, too wide to be one. Might be a spotting beam like an lep or similar, probably not to shoot down things

      The wide beams may actually be lasers, despite what a lot of comments are saying. Laser just means “Light Amplification through Stimulated Emission of Radiation”, it’s just a coherent beam of monochromatic light, it doesn’t have to be a narrow beam.

      A lot of defence systems use different wavelengths for tracking and jamming so they don’t accidentally jam themselves. For example using UV to track incoming rocket exhaust and jamming in IR to defeat “heat seeking” missiles.

      It’s very possible that they use UV lasers to illuminate targets so they can jam in IR to confuse night vision sensors.
