The moment of impact was captured by a reconnaissance UAV. The video shows a secondary explosion of a solid-fuel engine and an uncontrolled launch of a missile from the Russian air defence system. Due to the poor video quality, it is difficult to precisely determine the type of target, but it is likely a Buk or Tor air defence system.
