  1. I'm sure dozens of comments have mentioned to you that kinzhal is not a hypersonic missle as they are defined by the US. It is a ballistic missle like many midium range surface to surface missles. But even real hypersonic missles, have to slow down so that their targeting systems work in the final stage of flight.

  2. You are insulting the intelligence of the Jack Russell.

  3.  @kayakutah  The kinzhal is not that type of missile. But a real hypersonic missile is not limited by the type of turns a jet makes. They do not use aero devices like fins to make abrupt changes in approach or avoidance, they use small rocket engines that are at a perpendicular attitude to the main engine, and fire them as needed. I have been unable to find any reference regarding your statement about turn radius. Where can I find it?

  4. The real hypersonic devices are the targeting independent reentry warheads currently used on most MIRV ballistic missiles.
