I know something of Physics and ballistics, and have done quite a bit of work with the people who develope these munitions. This is wishful thinking or exaggeration. We fire 120 mm rounds through cloth targets, and the targets don't get "sucked in".

I think that the reporter is confusing the muzzle blast in a somewhat confined space for the effects of the round.

I'm thinking that the shockwave effects from a hyper-sonic projectile going thru a semi-confined space (ground and walls, but open to the sky) might be different from what you would see in an open area.
