  1. 100% success is 1:1. They didn't say how many interceptors were fired. They typically ripple fire multiple rounds, from at least two pods, at each target.

  3.  @tomdasilva2060  Well, probably because the intercepts were further than 100 feet away.

  4.  @Crosley-1520  Apparently not

  5.  @wp9860  Funny that you would still be saying that, after those minor assaults were terminated on the same day they happened at single digit km2 territorial capture, while Russia has pushed the Remaining Ukrainian troops in Bakhmut, into a smaller area than the assaults cleared.

  6.  @waynemartin5247  Anything can be intercepted. The Kinzhal has to make a ballistic terminal attack, just like anything else. Its terminal attack velocity determines the range at which it has to make the final correction. At maximum velocity, it has to make its correction several miles out, making reaction time lower, but a the physics of an intercept much simpler. Likewise, the slower its moving, the later it can maneuver, but the slower speed gives more reaction time and is also easier for the interceptor to correct for a hit. The reality is they're harder to intercept in a high precision conventional attack, but far from unstoppable. However, carrying a nuclear warhead, where you're measuring precision in kilometers, not meters, it probably is virtually unstoppable.

  7.  @waynemartin5247  So, just completely ignored everything I said 👍

  8.  @Crosley-1520  The brainwashing was a good investment with you, huh?

  9. ​​ @Kayzef2003  In fact the current PATRIOT is a hypersonic hit to kill system. It was specifically designed for intercepting ballistic missiles, where the warhead itself must be impacted and not just the airframe torn up, as with the current standard.

  10.  @Kayzef2003  No. Not at all how that works. Mach 8 is ~9000ft/sec. A 1° deviation in the terminal second, translates to ~160' radius. Now, covering 9000 ft/sec(nearly 2 miles), try to comprehend just the necessary atmospheric data to make that correction and get a hit.

  11. Ukraine sure does a good job of identifying and logging all of those different incoming. They really are the best army in the history of they world. By a lot .
