Nope, it was from a show aired on vertical shark hits at depth. The REMUS shark Cam. Although it would make total sense to also document bite force as well as video footage.

I'm confused. That's the gas line right? How is that even possible?

Lots of design flaws and physics contradictions, like where do you get air to run a jet engine underwater?
If you use a solid rocket propellant or O2/fuel rocket engine it would only run for a matter of seconds, maybe a minute but it would have to be HUGE.

If you could capture all the gas directly behind the sub/torpedo whatever and recycle it and compress it and shoot it out of pores in the skin on the forward section it would work, but the energy and complexity required is staggering.

The only way I could see us making it work would be to have a tiny fission reactor in the nose going critical as soon as it is launched. Not zackly practical. Silly Chinese.

Looks like the Ruskies pulled it off. Not supersonic, but 200 ka-nots is pretty fast. :
