How many meters per second is the fastest missile in the world?

At present, the fastest flying missiles in the world are ballistic missiles, including DF-26 recently installed in China, and its terminal flight speed is 18 Mach.

There is also the Russian Poplar -M, which is said to have a maximum flight speed of Mach 20. Converted to about 6500-6800 meters per second.

Because intercontinental missiles need to fly outside the atmosphere without gravity, they will reach or exceed the first cosmic speed (7.9 km/s) in the ascending stage. When the warhead re-enters, the speed Buff the warhead will increase continuously, and it can exceed Mach 30 (10 km/s) at the terminal.

Extended data:

Generally speaking, the range of intercontinental ballistic missiles should reach at least 5500-8000 kilometers. Intercontinental ballistic missiles are generally (but not necessarily) equipped with 1 nuclear warheads or thermonuclear warheads.

Its typical structure is: liquid or solid propulsion device, two-stage or multi-stage booster rocket, inertial guidance system (constellation navigation, satellite navigation or terminal guidance system can also be added), and one or more loading aircraft, each of which contains a warhead.
