Any estimates on the distance it traveled there? It looks so slow but I know it's not.

so I took the muzzle velocity and the time, and asked chat GPT to adjust for wind resistance and it says this was probably about a 25 km shot. a 155 artillery piece can have a range of 40km with non-rocket assisted extended range ammo

So, I opened this message and my eyes first saw wind resistance and I thought I was about to get some measurements about an unladen swallow.

Soon enough I think you'll just he able to give the video to chat gpt and tell it what kind of artillery it is and it'd work that out as well.

Thanks!
