Tulsa, Okla. — A new Russian hypersonic missile could make the rest of the world's warships obsolete overnight.
The International Business Times says it's called the Zircon missile, and experts say it's so fast, it would be unstoppable and could take out the most advanced aircraft carriers and warships with one strike.
The Zircon uses scramjet technology to reach speeds of 4,600 miles per hour, 5 times faster than the speed of sound.
Right now, the only way for U.S. and British carriers to avoid it is to stay so far away, that the carrier's planes would be essentially useless.
It's being tested for deployment as soon as 2020.
