Yes, S-125 "Neva".

What is shown in the video is not a cruise missile but the old S-125 Neva air defence system, of Soviet origin, introduced during the 60s (perhaps somewhat upgraded since). The footage is probably showing just regular air defence drills which are normally conducted near the sea for safety reasons (so that the missile doesn't fall on a building if its self-destruct fuse fails). You couldn't make a cruise missile out of it anyhow as they have the maximum range of merely 24 kms (perhaps a few more if fired against ground targets on a ballistic trajectory). The system gained fame when it shot down an F-117 and damaged another, and also shot down the F-16 of the future USAF commander David Goldfein, all in FR Yugoslavia in 1999.

No. It is not even a cruise missile, in spite of what the narrator is bullshitting, but a SAM with a maximum range of 24 kilometers.
