well then, it be interesting to see these new reactive armor in action.
there is so much russian hardware i want to see in action but they never in frontline.

T-14 Armata, SU 57, the latest one is the BMPT2 Terminator which after one was blown up and never see anymore on the field from both sides of media.

you may need to read on this, it doesn't fly mach 10 all the way.
and the Khinzal is not really a true hypersonic missile. according to popular mechanics site and US think tank, it is more of a ballistic missile than hypersonic due to its inability to maneuver at high speed.

“Kinzhal is nothing more than an air-launched ballistic missile,” Jeffrey Lewis, Ph.D., of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California, tells Popular Mechanics. “It’s only hypersonic in the sense that pretty much all ballistic missiles are hypersonic.”


if it got shot down with its propulsion taken out, there is a good possible chance that it will retain its shape considering the special material it needed to sustain the mark 10 flight at some point.

so youre telling me physics taught you when a mach 4 collides with mach 10 and somehow the projectile will retain its shape?  doh.gif
