BS!!! You don’t understand hypersonics. If the target missile is going much faster than the interceptor you will not be able to maintain a track on it. The Russians have also vastly changed their SLBMs/ICBMs by integrating with Avangard hypersonic sleds which makes them Mach 20-27 cruise missiles which change the axis and methods of attack. BTW an SM-6 is useless against low flying hypersonic cruise missiles. I know what AEGIS limitations are and it needs to be modernized.

The Pentagon’s Press Secretary confirmed the Ukrainian claims during a briefing with the press about new aid packages for the war-thorn country.

"On May 6, 2023, the claims of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense about the destruction of a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile started circulating on social media. On May 10, Brigadier General Pat Ryder, the Pentagon’s Press Secretary, confirmed it during a briefing with the press about a new security assistance package to reaffirm steadfast U.S. support for Ukraine, which also includes air defense systems and anti-air munitions."
