BBC has an article and a video released by the Georgian Military showing the shoot down from the unique perspective of the victim, in this case a Georgian UAV.
BBC World News

I thought it might have been CG for a moment, but when you look closely you can see the smoke from the missile is disturbed by the passing aircraft in a way in which I've never seen in a sim before.

The Georgian rebel group claims it was an L-39 Albatross but a close look at the aircraft reveals the distinct twin tails of a MiG or Sukhoi.

That's some awesome footage. It's nice getting to see a real MiG-29 in action.

Finally an air-to-air kill for the MiG-29.

The kill wasn't exactly something sexy like a Rafael, Typhoon or F-22 but they'll take it I'm sure. LOL
