#1 Riiiiiiight

Russian Armed Forces shot down three Storm Shadow cruise missiles and six HIMARS MLRS shells

One storm shadow missile either was intercepted or just went "GUUUUAH" and failed. Hard to tell from the debris. No HIMARS have been intercepted. Jammed, yes. That actually has been a problem. But stop stroking your interception cock as it is still flaccid as cooked spaghetti. Getting embarrassing at this point.

#2 Lots of Russian military facilities have indeed 'captured' a Storm Shadow or two.

#3 "Seized" vs "picked up off the ground". Prolly one of those lost in translation things.

#5 ...I'm wondering if - were we to go back and total up all the shot down claims for StormShadows and HIMARS - the total would actually exceed the number delivered.

Probably by '8-10 to 1', no, the latest ratio has to be by '17 to 1'.
