That was awesome! But what hit it? It sounded like gunfire but hit like a missile.

I was wondering too. Some fancy guided anti air system i guess, because it didnt hit from below but from the side by the looks of it. The impact trail stays below the smoke cloud.

Apparently it was shot down by a Gepard.

That was'nt a gepard. It was a small missile, maybe 40 or 50cm, estimating from shahed size. My clients (Eternity) video player lets me play back at 0.25 speed. I paused andvscreenshot it:

Damn, small and - well maybe not hypersonic but it seemed like it.
