Ukraine claims to be shooting down hypersonic Kinzhals.
However, the US Congress on Dec 18, 2023 demanded that DOD accelerate it’s efforts to build hypersonic interceptors.
“We would have no defense against that,” he said, and “you would expect that we would be taking risks, pushing fast to get hypersonic defense done, but we’re only spending about $250 million … a year on hypersonic defense, so less than 10% of hypersonic offense.”

Ukraine is claiming missile defence capabilities that the USA does not currently have.
This is more Ghost of Kiev stuff.

Reverend Wright:
"Ukraine is claiming missile defence capabilities that the USA does not currently have. This is more Ghost of Kiev stuff." The alternative explanation is more realistic, and it's simply that Vlad the Invader's "wunderwaffe" Kinzhals "Killjoy" missiles are not 100% of what they were cracked up to be.
A UK spokesman said: "' KILLJOY has almost certainly had a mixed combat debut,' the ministry’s report explained.
'Many of its launches have likely missed their intended targets, while Ukraine has also succeeded in intercepting attacks by this supposedly ‘undefeatable’ system.' "
