Ukraine claimed “another unbelievable success” on Tuesday morning, stating it had shot down six ‘hypersonic’ missiles over Ukraine overnight, stating that the damage on the ground in Kyiv this morning was caused by falling missile debris.

This does not sound like the sort of "surgical" air raid that hypersonic missiles were designed for.

Perhaps in twenty years the fog of war will have cleared up enough to determine what really happened. Assuming anyone is still interested.

Has the Patriot missile system been certified to intercept hypersonic vehicles? Are there any missile tests showing that capability?

The previous story about a Patriot missile system in the Ukraine doing the same was proven to be a complete fabrication.

This new story has about a 99.999999999999999% chance being full of...stuff, too.

Don’t believe communist propaganda, from the Russians or from the Chinese. For all that we know China is a paper tiger too. Lot of propaganda but they have never actually proven themselves in battle.

The “ammo depot” is propaganda. More than likely it was a fuel depo. Ammo depots don’t blow up in a mushroom like cloud.

Yes. A few days ago there were photographs of a destroyed Russian Kinzhal missile that was shot down by a Patriot missile battery in Ukraine. US Department of Defense also confirmed the kill.

"...Ukraine claimed “another unbelievable success” on Tuesday morning..."

It all sounds, from both the Soviets...er, Russians, and the Soviets, er...Ukranians, like standard totalitarian propaganda of which Orwell's has apt examples of. The Ukranians, being former Soviet power players, are just as likely to engage in this as the Soviets, er...Russians are.They largely studied from the same playbook.
