US Patriot defense systems successfully intercept Russian hypersonic missile in Ukraine.

Ukraine claims to have intercepted a Russian hypersonic 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-type ballistic missile was launched by a MiG-31K aircraft from Russian territory and was shot down with a Patriot missile. 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.
