That's the rocket booster firing a Tomhawk cruise missile out of its launch tube on a Royal Navy submarine. A rocket motor fires it out of the water and up into the air, where the wings unfold and its internal jet engine takes over.
That weapon is one of the best things to come out of the American defense establishment in the last thirty years. And as we've seen in both Gulf Wars, it's tailor made for situations like this. Don't want to send in a pilot? No problem. Just program the coordinates in our little jet-powered robotic kamikaze friend, and off he goes. :)
