The ManPad just got a little confused. Giant tank of gasoline or little drone moving at high speed look identical.
My guess is the drone flying toward the smoke from the fire completely masked it's signature to the trailing ManPad. The ManPad went looking for another faint heat signature and found the tank.

I came to make fun of the mistake on the title, but I see it was 100% correct.
Good job Russia.

Is that Chinese being spoken in that first video?

Yes, the video was first posted on Douyin (Chinese TikTok).
