The Martlet, a laser-guided multi-role light missile, is believed to have been smuggled into Ukraine from Britain, but was filmed being launched by a soldier of the 95th Airborne Assault Brigade on Sunday. Shots of the attack show the soldier aiming a shoulder launcher at an Orlan-10 reconnaissance drone in the Kharkiv region before launching the 1,100 mph missile. Cheers are heard a few moments later after the head hit the aircraft with a concentrated explosive charge and an explosion of fragmentation. A convoy of military vehicles eight miles north of the eastern city of Izyum was “clear evidence” that Russia was pursuing its goal.
