6 Russian Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles can sink an aircraft carrier

The Russians estimate that 6 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles are all it would take to sink an American aircraft carrier.

Mach 9, which is the top speed of the Zircon is 6850 miles an hour.

The Zircon is a nuclear capable missile and if fired from a submarine just off the coast of Britain or France with a nuclear warhead it would obliterate London or Paris.
