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. Π’Π‘Π£ means AFU, Armed Forces of Ukraine. I think PC30 refers to GMLRS.

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

Π’Π‘Π£ is actually VSU (or WSU for Germans), but it does mean Armed Forces of Ukraine

[–] PinkOwls@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

PC30

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