5A or 5B cylinders look like the thing to use today. I can't find any info on them except for this diagram. Back of envelope math says they would be roughly 40 kg empty, and would hold roughly 5 litres or 40 kg of UF6. So transport of the 400 kg of UF6 at Fordow would take 10 × 5A cylinders.

Oak Ridge used 8B cylinders (8" diameter) during WWII and the early days of the Cold War, but it looks like they needed careful arrangement of spacing and moderating materials for storage and transport.

For High Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) of 10% and 20% purity (suitable for some research reactors and modular reactors), variations on the 30B are in development, the 30B-10 and 30B-20:

While 48Y cylinders can be used for Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) hexafluoride @5% purity, preferred is the 30B container, a smaller cylinder of 30" diameter:

I've been looking into how UF6 is stored, recently.
Natural ratio and depleted UF6 is stored in steel cylinders called 48Y, where 48 is the diameter in inches and 'Y' is a designator for the different models; 48Y is the most common, but there are also 48A, 48X, 48HX, etc with different standards.

All the pictures released of Russia's Zirkon look near-identical to the X-51 Waverider.

Patriot's no good against IRBMs and ICBMs, their speed is too high. THAAD might work against the RS-26, but it looks a bit iffy. Best would be an Aegis Ashore installation, but that's going to take a few years.
