Drone footage shows a reported Russian S-400 air defense system frantically launching surface to air missiles, but failing to intercept an incoming Ukrainian US-delivered ATACMS missile. The pair of launchers are rocked by the missile and begin cooking off with the signature blooms of white smoke and bright burning.

Apparently, the S-400 is not suited to take on the ATACMS. Although it was reported as an S-400, it's also possible that it was an S-300 or similar system.
