Never Yet Melted: Skeet Shooting Middle-Eastern Style
Israeli Phalanx Close-in air defense system (by Raytheon) engaging incoming missiles.
This is part of Israel’s “Iron Dome” defense system. There appear to be at least two high speed guns out of view of the camera, maybe more. At least 50cal. or maybe 20mm for the range they are shooting. The white can in the foreground appears to be for close-in fire, in the event the longer range guns do not do the job. All this is radar/computer controlled, no human action except to turn it on. What we are seeing are real shoot-downs, rockets launched probably from Lebanon aimed at Tel Aviv or other populated targets. This is cutting-edge American technology.

WNU Editor: A part of me wonders if this is a CGI video. The way the intercepted rockets "splashed down" looks fake. But it is still a cool video. Hat tip to James for this link.

"American technology"?
Iron Dome (Hebrew: כִּפַּת בַּרְזֶל, kippat barzel) is a mobile all-weather air defense system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries.
Rafael systems based in Haifa, Israel
WNU: It is not CGI, but most likely from a video game, called "Arma 3". Here is another similar example from the game: https://youtu.be/runqekIg-LU?t=32
Definitely fake.
Darn. I knew it was too good to be true.
