57E6 Series
This is a family of two-stage, surface-to-air missiles fired from the Pantsir air defence complex. 57E6 specifically refers to the 2nd stage of the missile, which contains the warhead and fuzing, but is interchangeably used to refer to the entire round.

Analyst Note:
The 57E6 series of missiles fired from the 96K6 Pantsir system use a two-stage design that is unusual for surface-to-air missiles of this type. The remnant seen in this image is part of the missile’s booster section, which accelerates the second stage to a high velocity before separating. The booster section uses a distinctive toffee-brown, filament-wound composite body. (ARES)
