    That’s not what vaporware is…vaporware doesn’t exist, it’s vapor.

    Russians lie about a lot, especially their military’s capabilities and they have had plenty of vaporware e.g. T-95.

    However…

    The S-400 and Iskander are real, they just aren’t as capable as described. The S-400 can’t target stealth aircraft, although it can possibly track 1st gen stealth (track vs target are very different).

    The Iskander is a capable ballistic missle with hypersonic speeds…just like ballistic missiles have since the 60s. But it still follows a ballistic trajectory, and is NOT capable of hypersonic maneuvering.
