Most likely not Piorun and not even MANPADS, rather Polish OSA AKM-P rocket systems (which – thanks to the statement made by gen. maj. Borys Kremieniecki – we know, that Ukraine did recieve). PPZR Piorun doesn’t fire soviet missiles. Polish OSA AKM-P, on the other hand, does still use original soviet missiles (which Ukraine has in abundance) but the launchers were modernized with better radars and modern optoelectronics.
most likely battlefield control system that can provide manpads users with data from nearby radars to be ready when missiles get close
