Afterward shooting down a Russian drone in the continuing conflict, Ukrainian soldiers were spotted as celebrating it. According to source, the footage does not reveal the location or date of the incident, but it appears to show British-made Starstreak missiles knocking down a Russian army Orion drone.

The laser-guided missile has a top speed of more than three times that of sound. It’s part of the UK’s support for Ukraine.

One of the most advanced drone, the Orion Combat UAV, was extensively deployed by the Russian military in the Ukraine conflict. The Orion was tested for strike missions in Syria in 2019, according to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

A soldier, Yuriy Kochevenko, has uploaded a video of the Ukrainian missile strike.

In the clip, a group of Ukrainian soldiers can be heard cheering triumphantly as the drone comes down.

#Ukraine: The first video of a UK-supplied Martlet multirole missile – not a Starstreak as widely claimed – in action with the Ukrainian troops. As reported, it took out a Russian Orlan-10 UAV and this appears credible given the reaction, but we cannot see precisely what was hit. pic.twitter.com/i6sP6649h6
