It's a Geran-2 attack UAV, which is a copy of the Iranian Shahed UAV.
Ah neat! So it's a drone firing a drone to intercept a drone.
Edit: No, that's a Russian craft.
I realize what you were asking about now. The first thing that's visible is just black smoke from the explosion of the STING interceptor drone.
There's pretty clearly 2 pyrotechnic events here. if you're viewing it on a good enough screen.
Given camera movement, I suppose the "plane" could just be a cloud of smoke as well, that's true. Like, maybe it started a rocket stage? Aren't Shaheds slow and dumb, though? I don't know why it'd need that.
I cropped and stabilized the video which makes it harder to tell that the camera is moving, not the smoke of the first explosion. Here's the original video.
