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.

There were angles involved - imagine throwing a Frisbee forward and running fast enough to bump into it. Now imagine you throw it up, and you run until it hits you in the back of the head

No matter how fast you're going forward, it's still coming at you from an angle you're not moving
