Silly clickbait title, but newsworthy all the same. This looks like the first instance of a successful ballistic missile interception in battle and not a test. I feel a chill because you never know what payload a ballistic missile is carrying until it reaches its target. Using them in war is a scary precedent.

Hasn't this been happening in Ukraine for some time?

Those aren’t happening above the Kármán line. The Ukrainians don’t have anything capable of targeting an inbound weapon at that altitude.

You're right, but I was more referring to this statement "This looks like the first instance of a successful ballistic missile interception in battle and not a test". The Ukrainians used a Patriot missile to shoot down at least one Russian ballistic missile in the spring. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/air-defence-systems-rep...

Ah, yeah, you're right.
