I don't know, Kiel isn't known for peddling nonsense mate.

*Ukraine has 3x patriot batteries operational at the time when we read about Kinzal and Zircon interception.

*And these 3d batteries are NOT deployed at th same place with overlapping coverage. 2x batteries in Kiev. And third one is somewhere else/mostly Kharkiv.

*Two patriot battery has two AN/MPQ-53 radars. And Each can guide 18 interceptors at 9 targets. That means maximum 36x interceptots at once.

*Assuming the interceptor is PAC-2, launching all 32 launchers means guiding 128x missiles toward 1 target. Not only practically absurd but technically impossible.

*That's me being generous. Because usually it is a mix of PAC-3 and PAC-3. In that case, numbers of launched interceptors are twice or more. The whole proposition then becomes even bigger nonsense.

Maybe its mathematically saying " to reach reliable interception rate of hypersonics you would need that many missiles which is not possible "

I don't think this is a correct explanation.
