It is not known what happened to the fighter-bomber, recording ends too early in order to be able to declare with absolute certainty: the missile did not cause any damage to the combat aircraft.
According to the daily report of the Russian Ministry of Defense Russian forces destroyed a MiG-29,
however, they did not present evidence of this either.
