Ukraine has successfully targeted and destroyed a Russian S-300/S-400 air defense system in the Belgorod region using HIMARS MLRS last week. The strike, which was carried out with U.S.-supplied M142 HIMARS, resulted in the destruction of three launchers and other elements of the battery. This attack follows recent U.S. permission for Ukraine to use HIMARS GMLRS to strike across the Russian border. Footage shows the aftermath of the strike on the S-300/S-400 Triumph system, which Russia also employs in surface-to-surface mode to target Kharkiv.
