The unverified footage seemingly shows a strike by a Stugna-P anti-tank guided missile system.
The Stugna-P, also known as Stuhna-P, is a Ukrainian anti-tank guided missile system developed in the early 2010s by Luch Design Bureau, a unit of the Ukrainian defense ministry.
Soon after the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, defense publication 19fortyfive.com reported that the Stugna was proving to be very effective for Kyiv's forces on the battlefield. Weighing 200 pounds, it is less portable than the Javelin ATGMs which have been supplied by the West, but it has a longer range. Its operator can semi-automatically steer the missile mid-flight.
