Good point, of course. I'd analyze the sun angles, and then corroborate it with the time that the attack on the DHL occured the other day. That certainly without any doubt is a shoulder SAM being fired, though. Russian made.

It seems to me that they're firing towards a dissipated contrail, hence the skepticism.

Maybe a SA-14 Igla, more likely a SA-16 9K310 Gimlet or 9K310 SA-18 Igla-M *Grouse* variant, looks like to me.
