I wonder how many FAA regulations they'd violate if that were in U.S. airspace...  ???

LOL..No kidding! ;D ;D
That's pretty cool. At 4k altitude you wouldn't need oxygen, and I'd guess they have a pretty limited ceiling. I wonder how much the machine gun option is? 8)

I wasn't thinking altitude because you can see the ground but the speed

I'll say 125-150 mph. The big jet's flaps are about 1/2 way down in most shots as I don't think it could stay airborne at any slower speed than 125 or so.

Impressive...but I'll be really wowed when I see the video of them gliding to a landing on roller skates instead of using parachutes.
