I would remind you of the Fog of War.

In WW2, during the D-Day invasion of Europe, *every* German tank reported (especially destroyed) was a “Tiger”, Hitler’s supertank. Germany would really have loved to have had as many Tigers as was reported. After the front had moved on, those destroyed tanks were surveyed - few of them were Tigers, most were Panzer IIIs and IVs.

There is every possibility that these were *not* hypersonics.

‘There is every possibility that these were *not* hypersonics.”

Putin’s dumbass army was over-hyped. Same for his trashy hypersonic missiles.

Just about every German tank was destroyed including the Tigers.

The Tiger was a very expensive and labor intensive tank to make.

Each tank required some 300,000 man hours to produce.

The Germans only made about 1,300 hundred of them with most of those going to the Russian front.

You’re right. The chances of any Allied tanker encountering a Tiger in Normandy or anywhere else on The Western front were about 1 in 10.
