The National Police of Ukraine have issued a very rare acknowledgment of the interception of a Russian Kh-32 supersonic anti-ship missile in Kharkiv on the night of 1 FEB. Ukraine has repeatedly (falsely) denied the ability of their legacy Soviet AD assets to defeat the Kh-22/32.https://twitter.com/John_A_Ridge/status/1753951805224947828
