Ukraine successfully intercepts Russian hypersonic missile with US Patriot system.

Ukraine claims to have intercepted a Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missile over Kyiv using newly acquired American Patriot defense systems, marking the first known time the country has been able to intercept one of Moscow's most modern missiles. The Kinzhal is one of the latest and most advanced Russian weapons, with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers and flying at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept. Ukraine took its first delivery of the Patriot missiles in late April, and it has not specified how many of the systems it has or where they have been deployed.
