That doesn't appear to describe what was shown in the video. The video appeared to show an anti-personnel weapon of some sort. If I remember the MKV from the wiki description, it was essentially a multi-warhead shotgun.

I think that noise was the thrusters firing... not a weapon... (I assume) but yeah still doesn't seem to be the same thing

I thought it was digitally rendered at first too... can't see that thing having a long running duration.... doesn't look like there's much fuel capacity...

It doesn't have to run long.

Consider it like an air mine. It gets near its target, detonates due to a proximity sensor and shreds whatever is near it, be that missile, air plane or drone..

The video shows the booster during a hover test.

Here is another video showing the system better.
