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.
