Ukraine has taken out a Russian Buk air defense system in the contested eastern Donetsk region of the country using U.S.-supplied HIMARS, or High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, new footage appears to show, as Russia steps up its aerial bombardment of Ukraine in the first days of the new year.
Ukrainian special forces fired on one of Russia's Buk-M2 anti-aircraft missile systems and a radar with a HIMARS Kyiv said on Monday, sharing footage it said showed the hit on the Russian medium-range air-defense system.
"The enemy's equipment was destroyed," Ukraine's special forces said in a brief caption to the video clip.

..."Moscow launched a "mass attack" with several types of missiles and strike drones, and Ukrainian air defenses destroyed 72 incoming targets, including 10 hypersonic Kinzhal missiles and 62 cruise missiles, Ukraine's air force said on Tuesday.
On December 29, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed the Kremlin had launched its most intensive strikes since the Kremlin invaded the country in February 2022. Close to 160 missiles and strike drones were launched at Ukraine in the barrage, he said.
The missile strikes early on Tuesday "repeated the attack of December 29," the head of Ukraine's air force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk, said in a statement.
Ukraine responded to the December 29 strikes with what Russia called an "indiscriminate combined strike" on the Russian border city of Belgorod.
Moscow then said it had retaliated with another round of strikes, including an assault on "decision-making centers and military facilities" in Kharkiv."...
