> Ukraine is shooting them down just fine using decades old technology.

It is not publicly known whether this is true.

The Ukrainians claim they shot down 6 of 6 Kinzhal missiles over Kiev in one night with a Patriot battery. In the available videos of the event, all that can be seen is that a few dozen air defense missiles were fired, and that something got through and struck the general location where the air defense battery was.

A very healthy dose of skepticism is warranted about claims made in wartime by interested parties.
