TL;DR Summary

Ukraine claims to have intercepted nearly all of the hypersonic missiles Russia launched in a recent large-scale attack, challenging Moscow's portrayal of these weapons as unstoppable. Despite Ukraine's success, interception rates remain low, highlighting the difficulty in defending against such advanced munitions. The attack involved eight Kinzhal and one Zirkon missile, with Ukraine's air defenses reportedly shooting down seven Kinzhals and the Zirkon. Kyiv continues to seek more advanced air-defense systems from Western allies to bolster its defenses.
