The clip, shot from inside the jet’s cockpit, looks to show the pilot utilizing a toss bomb technique, which is exactly how the rocket-boosted munitions were designed to be used.

Apparently these things have two guidance systems in them - one GPS, one inertial - and are intended to be flung over terrain to reduce the chances of the aircraft getting seen by defences
