I was surfing the web and I stumbled across this:
The CKEM (compact kinetic energy missile) is a prototype missile that could potentially be the worlds best AT missile. It is fired from a TOW type
tube, and uses a rocket to boost a long rod penetrator to hypersonic speeds over Mach 6.5.

Energy at impact is a whopping 10MJ. The speed of the penetrator is over 1500m/s, around the speed of most KE penetrators.
