The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing the Buk-M1 Air Defense System intercepting a Ukrainian missile.
The ministry said that air defense systems protect Russian troops along with major industrial and administrative sites from aerial attacks.
A Russian army commander said, “We have a huge responsibility. We operate against MLRS missiles including HIMARS. On New Year's night we shot down several 'Olkha' missiles.
“We have completed each task successfully,” he added.
