Footage recorded by Russian S-400 air defense crewmen reportedly shows the surface-to-air missile system attempting, and failing, to shoot down incoming guided multiple launch rockets (GMLRS) fired from a Ukrainian HIMARS or similar system.

At first, the Russian expresses excitement as he believes the enemy munition is hit, but suddenly, the precision rocket destroys one of the S-400 system next to him, and he responds with shock and disappointment. Ukrainian reports claim that one S-400 launcher was destroyed and one Russian soldier was injured in the strike.
