The footage shows two consecutive air-to-air missile launches that successfully hit the Russian kamikaze drones Shahed-136.
The combat took place at night, which increased the difficulty of intercepting aerial targets of this nature.
The video reveals that the missile locks onto the target at a relatively short distance, just a few kilometers.
This makes the mission particularly dangerous, requiring great skill from the pilot, as there is a risk of the aircraft being hit by debris from the downed drones.
At such high speeds, the aircraft could sustain damage, which in the best-case scenario would require repairs, or in the worst-case scenario, could result in a crash.
