The USA has authorised Ukraine to use US weapons to destroy targets located on the territory of the Russian Federation. Immediately after that, the Ukrainian Defence Forces successfully destroyed a S-400 surface-to-air missile system located in Belgorod Region.
Here's What We Know
The strike on the air defence system was carried out by the M142 HIMARS high-mobility artillery rocket system. High-precision guided GMLRS projectiles can hit targets within a radius of about 80 kilometres.
Judging by the photos, at least two launchers of the S-400 surface-to-air missile system were completely destroyed. Supply vehicles and/or the combat control centre could also have been hit. The 92N6 radar station was damaged.

The destruction of the surface-to-air missile system would weaken the capabilities of the Russian air defence system. The S-400 strike came amid an offensive by Russian troops in the Kharkiv region.
