Tragic, if true, but you need to work on your texts and captions. HIMARS is rocket artillery, not an "anti-aircraft missile defense system": High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System. And what is the caption in the video? PC30? BCY?

I copied the description from the source. I've deleted it to avoid confusion. ВСУ means AFU, Armed Forces of Ukraine. I think PC30 refers to GMLRS.

Thanks. I'm not too good with Cyrillic letters.

ВСУ is actually VSU (or WSU for Germans), but it does mean Armed Forces of Ukraine

PC30

This means RS30 and it might be a Russian designation for Multiple Rocket launchers, not 100% sure about this.
