I see the jet strikers were perfected quite well.... wait. If the jet from 1944 could reach the sound barrier... these must be insane... can rockets go faster than this? eeehh

Yes. The speed of a rocket is relative to the speed of the airplane which it gets launched from. If we call the velocity of the rocket if it were launched from a stationary launcher on the ground vsub0 and we call the velocity of the plan vsub1, the velocity of the rocket fired from the plane will be vsub0 + vsub1. The rocket will also be slowed down by air resistance, but rockets have a much smaller surface area than planes, so they will be affected less.

Not a bad depiction of a Su-24.
