          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

          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.

      “Wikipedia” —Lol
      “US officials claim” —Lol

      …Says the user who just posted a story sourced from Russian state media.

      (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.)
