It appears that there is a slight moment where the camera zooms out, showing that the image we are seeing is probably a zoom-in. I'm also not so sure his comment of "ohh, dude." is meant as a celebratory remark, more that the pilot was probably somewhat surprised at the amount of damage that direct hit caused.
I can't crawl inside his mind so I don't know what he was thinking, but I'm likely to give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't take joy in what he did.
This video, while compelling, is taken out of context. We don't know why he was there, who the people on the ground were, or anything else other than the snippet we are seeing. We may draw our own conclusions, but unless we have all the facts, our conclusions are only assumptions.
