power and internet are out again in much of Kiev, Lvov and Kharkov -

https://tass.com/politics/1727977The Ukrainian air defense forces have not been able to down a single Kh-22 supersonic cruise missile since the beginning of the Russian special military operation, Ukrainian air force spokesman Yury Ignat said.
"None were downed at all," Ignat said, answering a question if Ukrainian forces were able to intercept at least one such missile.
"The Kh-22 missile travels at a speed of 4,000 km/h, it approaches its target mainly via ballistic trajectory. […] Special means are necessary to intercept it," he explained, noting that such special means include Patriot air defense systems, which Kiev already has in its arsenal.
Earlier in August, Ignat noted that Ukrainian air defenses cannot counter Russia’s Kh-22 missiles. He admitted that, by that point, Ukraine was unable to down a single missile of this type.
they were actually referring to the x-22 which is an enormous aeroballistic missile designed in the 60s; the airforce spokesman admits they don't have the capability to stop those but apparently KINZHALs, KALIBRs and ISKANDERs (all based on the same concept but much faster, more agile and with advanced countermeasures) are no problem...
the x-101s and modern variants are logically easier to intercept because they're slower and fly low but they're designed to be stealthy so it depends on whether the systems the Ukrainians have are able to achieve reliable locks -

I'm not exactly sure what they're trying to say but the kh22 is an antique anti-carrier missile that is 'obsolete' to be replaced by the kh32. It's a humongous missile and while it is fast the kh22 is reasonably easy to soft-kill...which is part of why the soviets invented the kh32. (Kh32 and kh22 are physically visually indistinguishable)
The newer and smalls hypersonics haven't been documented to achieve the speeds the Russians claim. -

Looks like Sarah's started on a new mission, researching about the migrants flooding America, which she claims include military age men from China and Russia.
Sarah is a true patriot, and never stops keeping America safe. -
