The clip is tagged to Zoids Wild Senki, part of the long-running Zoids franchise built around mechanical animal-like machines and their battles. In that context a missile launch followed by a hit is a standard action effect, signalling an attack and its result in a single beat. Outside the show, short launch-and-impact clips like this are widely reused by editors because they need no context to be understood. They work alongside other sci-fi weapon effects such as a pew pew sound, giving amateur animators and meme makers a ready-made explosion for mecha fights, gaming edits and parody battles.
