We’re in peak season for them in the southern hemisphere, so it’s a bit unusual to see them fruiting in the north. But then I don’t know the area, maybe some of them just like to fruit in spring there?

It’s not just a claim. “Hypersonic” ballistics like the Kinzhal are not real hypersonics. It’s just a faster ballistic missile because they launch it from a plane. Being ballistic makes it easy to intercept.

When people talk about hypersonics as a future weapon, they are talking about hypersonic glide vehicles. Not an Iskander strapped to a plane.
