The fastest missile in the world is the Russian Kinzhal (Kh-47M2) hypersonic missile

 



The fastest missile in the world is the Russian Kinzhal (Kh-47M2) hypersonic missile. It is reported to reach speeds of up to Mach 10 (about 7,672 miles per hour or 12,350 kilometers per hour). The Kinzhal is an air-launched ballistic missile capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads, designed for high-speed precision strikes.

Other notable mentions in the category of fast missiles include:

  1. BrahMos-II: A hypersonic cruise missile developed jointly by India and Russia, which is expected to reach speeds of Mach 7.
  2. DF-ZF: A Chinese hypersonic glide vehicle that reportedly can reach speeds of Mach 5-10.

Hypersonic missiles are considered game-changers due to their speed, maneuverability, and ability to evade modern missile defense systems.
