      Again, not a military expert, but have you been living under a rock for several years and missed this whole Ukrainian “special military operation”?

      Russia’s hyped Kinzhal missiles, which promised to defeat air defence systems and be manoeverable at supersonic speeds are being shot down by 80’s era surface to air missiles. And I don’t think anyone has been in a position to assess China’s capabilities in the matter and I have no interest in discussing your beliefs.

      Edit: forgot to say this really has nothing to do with advanced lithography, anyways…

        There’s no proof of this ever happening, Ukraine hasn’t been able to provide evidence of shooting down even ONE kinzhal.

        Also, this has nothing to do with China’s hypersonic missiles.
