Are there any missile systems as of 2019 capable of shooting down aircraft in excess of mach 6?

Question

Are there any missile systems, ground based, or air to air, as of 2019 that are capable of shooting down aircraft in excess of mach 6, such as the X-15?

For simplicity I'm ignoring the fact that the X-15 may be considered a spacecraft or "space plane".

@jwenting Not necessarily. It could be a friend who owns a very fast plane. — David Richerby, May 16 '19 at 08:52
