90% you say? That's quite a claim do you have any source?
Ukraine claims the opposite of what Russia claims.
Lets not forget a few days ago Russians falsely claimed they shot down 7 mig -29's alone in a 24hour period.

It makes sense and has been pointed out even by pro-Ukraine media multiple times that Russia does get caught with its pants down but are quick to figure out how adapt to Ukraine tactics to the point that even if they are successful later on, they aren't as effective anymore if at all. They are still good for PR but little else.

Source? What is a source in the midst of a war? A drone that fell onto a car after being suppressed by EW can very well be presented as a hit by the opposing side and any successful strike on a seemingly insignificant target can become a successful interception. Its hard to find reliable source in the midst of a conflict like these.
Sometimes common sense can be a source, this is undoubtedly an elaborate attack and it is extremely odd that such a successful strike doesn't have much fan-fare like it usually happens with successful Ukrainian strike. Secondly, Russians have always adopted to such strikes and the effectiveness has declined as time passed, it seems perfectly reasonable for me to assume that Russians were more prepared this time around. And the possibility of such an attack coming was clearly being hinted by even Russian medias before it happened, clearly indicating that the Russians were prepared.
As mentioned in my post, ATACMS were not intercepted and fell at intended target, Russians say that they didn't do much (may be they did a lot of damage as Ukrainians claim but who knows).
As for 90%, EW and air defenses can most certainly suppress up to 90% of guided projectiles coming towards Russians. Vast majority of them are drones (not even designed for military operations), the rate would be lower for cruise missiles of course.
And how is it falsely claimed? As far as I know there haven't been any acceptable "debunking" of that claim, if there is then you can share it with me.
I'm trying to figure out the logic of how the idea of Russia being able to intercept 90% of projectiles with a multi-layer air defense system is fake news but Ukraine being able to shoot down 120% of Russian projectiles with a handful of Patriots, Nasams and Iris-T is perfectly reasonable and feasible.
ADs always remain under appreciated because it’s harder to see their work, on both sides that is. As for 90%, It is certainly possible as Russia has a comprehensive AD system and an extensive EW network but I mentioned it not as a precise number but instead as a replacement for “large majority”.
FAB-500 strike on a Ukrainian force concentration in the Orekhiv front, as viewed by a quadcopter of the Klen Battalion.
Leopard 2A6 passing through with plenty of long grills. The tank belongs to the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade transferred from the Zaporozhye front to Avdiivka,
That didn't take long. Leopard 2A6 gets destroyed by the 114th Guards MR Brigade, same guys who put their flag on top of the Avdiivka coke heap.
Brand new T-90Ms being rolled into the training ground.

Leopard taken out by ATGM in the Kupyan area, generally not a place where Leopards are seen.

Just to add, the “Tim White” cited by @SolarWarden demonstrates the “broken telephone” effect by going from 17 injured to 17 killed
I did notice it. It certainly looks like Russia made a much more stronger case this time around. Event seems consistent and the same attack that the Russians admitted to have failed to intercept is the same one that the Ukraine is claiming to have happened.
