The stealth plane was hovering over an open field when at a distance a white plume of smoke arises.
The rocket swerves and turns as it hones in on the drone, blasting it out of the sky and causing the recording to cut out.
Despite the loss, Ukraine's 45th Separate Artillery Brigade, which carried out the attack, said it was successful in its attack on the Russian depot.
The brigade said in a statement on Saturday that they used two drones to carry out the strike, with one being struck down by the enemy in return fire.
