It reads like the Russians spoofed the SAM system with a couple of bluffs and then destroyed it afterwards with one well aimed counter.

That's only my interpretation of the information available on this situation.

If they used more than one of these super missiles on this thing did they win or lose? I think the Patriots are pretty rare and expensive. I have no idea how many of those missiles Russia has.

America has more than 1,000 and this one was only slightly damaged.

Also, it was debris from this launcher's own dud missile: https://twitter.com/OSINTMISCIF/status/1658849243497394178

Their "super" missiles were intercepted. Again.

Speaking of which,

Three Russian academics who have worked on hypersonic missile technology face “very serious accusations,” the Kremlin said on Wednesday, in a treason investigation that has spread alarm through Russia’s scientific community.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was aware of an open letter from Siberian scientists in defense of the men, but that the case was a matter for the security services.

In the letter, published on Monday, colleagues of Anatoly Maslov, Alexander Shiplyuk and Valery Zvegintsev protested their innocence and said the prosecutions threatened to inflict grave damage on Russian science.

“We know each of them as a patriot and a decent person who is not capable of doing what the investigating authorities suspect them of,” they said.

President Vladimir Putin has boasted that Russia is the global leader in hypersonic missiles, capable of travelling at speeds of up to Mach 10 (12,250 kph) to evade enemy air defenses. On Tuesday, Ukraine said it had managed to destroy six of the weapons in a single night, although Russia disputed this.
