That entire montage makes the Defiant look wholly sluggish and ungainly, particularly in contrast to the videos of the V-280 performing low speed agility maneuvers. It's amazing that Sik/Boeing publish these as advertisements of its supposed performance attributes.

The aircraft should reach maximum speed capability of roughly 250 knots within the next few months

Still doesn't look remotely close to 250 kt.
