US officials claim that the Patriot missile system can be successfully employed against hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles. The Joint All-Domain Command and Control can be used to spot and intercept targets including hypersonic technologies.
I mean a quick Google shows that it’s a very real capability, but if you don’t want to believe, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.
It’s not just a claim. “Hypersonic” ballistics like the Kinzhal are not real hypersonics. It’s just a faster ballistic missile because they launch it from a plane. Being ballistic makes it easy to intercept.
When people talk about hypersonics as a future weapon, they are talking about hypersonic glide vehicles. Not an Iskander strapped to a plane.

(Not that the report is necessarily wrong, or that US claims are necessarily true—but you’re applying a bit of a double standard with your instant dismissal.)

What an insightful and thought provoking rebuttal 🤡
It means the source is untrustworthy if you couldn’t tell
Lol
Extra Lol
See how dogshit of a response that is? Try harder please
That would be a silly thing to claim if it were a lie, it could be tested and obviously refuted.
It has been tested, in the field nonetheless
