Well then it seems like great propaganda to fuck with Russians..."oh you sending your pricey cruise missiles to kill our kids? Well you see our guys here will just shoot it down from the back of a pickup, at the cost of few bullets and call it target practice, no biggie"

Probably helped that he waited until the flight path was trajectoring away from his position (and that it passed really nearby) so he had one axis of movement less to cover.

However that madlad managed to hit: Congrats to this stunt!

If actually true. We conveniently don't see the target before it's hit.

We do a large amount of black smoke, and I'm reliably informed that expensive machines stop working once you let the magic smoke out

The smoke is the ghost in the machine.

Of course. But we don't know what actually hit it. He fires outside the picture, then the camera moves to show the smoke.

Fair, all we can see is that someone hit it

This is a cropped video. A few hours ago there was a post in some community with the full video.
