The [[Russian]] built [[hypersonic]] '''Zircon missile''' is estimated to have reached flight speeds of Mach 9+ (11,000 km/h, 3 km/s or 6,900 mph) and a maximum altitude of 28 km (17 miles, 92,000 ft). The Zircon missile is said to have an operational range greater than 1,000 km (640 mi, 549 nmi). Originally developed as a naval weapon, it costs a little over $5 million compared to the [[US]]-built [[Patriot missile]] battery that costs $1 billion.

The Zircon missile is said to have an operational range greater than 1,000 km (640 mi, 549 nmi) with a solid-fuel booster for the first stage and a scramjet for sustained hypersonic flight. Originally developed as a naval weapon, it costs a little over $5 million compared to the [[US]]-built [[Patriot missile]] battery that costs $1 billion.
