Furthermore, you need to ask any aviation /missilery guy wnat spinning the airframe does to gyro-stabilized inertial guidance systems. except as a trick to degrade performance (to kep the missile within a small test range).
I defy and challenge you to produce evidence of a guided missile that is designed to operate in a spiral motion during boost phase. Unguided rocket powered projectiles...maybe... Guided missiles? No way.
Again?
Just look back five posts. You were the one I posted that to first on Nov. 17th.
Yes, I see the swirls. But the contrail doesn’t reveal the sharp corkscrew.
As for missiles and early corkscrews, for all we know, it could have been a defective launch, right? While I don’t claim to have any knowledge about this, here’s a fellow freeper who impressed me as someone who does have knowledge:
OldMissileer: “That is a sub launched ballistic missile and it looks as if its’ trajectory was taking it toward Kwajalein Atoll where we target our western test launches.”

As I watched the video from the original news program the plume is at the horizon but the telltale is the plume itself.
A SLBM breaches the surface and the engines fire. The missile rises vertical as it stabilizes itself and then orients itself. Once it has settled down it starts the pitch program to send it toward its intended target.
The vertical flight is only several hundred feet and you can see the vertical portion of the plume in the original video from the news station. You can also see the wider smoke base on the video where the engine start sequence initiated.
