So DumbMike, you do realise that a missile has a trajectory? Or that the Patriot does not have to catch up to it, because the missile is going toward it. 

Wonder if the Kinzhal hypersonic missile will feature at tomorrow's Victory parade

If it was a Kh-47 Kinzhal missile it is possible but I shot 3 partridges with 3 pellets once, that's true but I don't expect anyone to believe it and truth can be stranger than fiction just as a down and out won a R240 million Powerball with a quick pick in Cape Town sometime ago.

Anyway, so what, the bored internet trolls catch a cheapie, none of them have ever experienced combat or seen a comrade blown to bits.

You would think that by that one off they had won a victory Hahahahahaha.

How infantile and pathetic.

Plum you would actually be extremely surprised what you or any other normal average person is capable of doing....  especially if suddenly put into any serious / dangerous / life threatening situation which arose out of nowhere...

Interestingly....the ones you would "expect" to see stay and handle the situation, are very often the very first ones to cut it and run.... and then a very average unassumingly looking member of the public is the one to step forward and face the issue and possibly save the day.......

Obviously, these scenarios I give here are very different to war, but the characteristics of the individuals involved remain the same.... a hero, despite what side you are on.

Once the adrenaline kicks in, insane things are possible....

The human mind and body are incredible creations.....

To those who don't know it, war is a game. See this post as an example. Ooh we shot down your fancy missile with our stupid missile, leeeewsers.

It's like the kid recorded speaking at the beginning of Rogers Waters' What God Wants Pt. 1:

“I don't mind about the war. That's one of the things I like to watch, if it's a war going on, 'cause then I know if our side's winning, if our side's losing…”

All entertainment from the couch.

I still won't and will never understand how one man can make so many decisions for an entire country....

And no, I am not referring to Russia here..... I am talking in general

Whilst teams of people are often involved in these processes, the decision still often comes down to one person.

For the First Time, a Patriot Missile Has Killed One of Russia’s Hypersonic Missiles (msn.com)

This is normal BS story.   They do not even know what kind of rocket was shot down

So Russia has no sense of urgency….it’s just a slow grinding process. Why finish the battle. So much for the theory the war was an urgent need to protect Russians in Ukraine.
