How long would it take an ICBM to reach Russia?

Hear this out loudPausePeak speed for an ICBM is in the ballpark of 6-7km/s (any faster and the payload would go orbital), and it takes about 10 minutes to accelerate to that speed. New York to Moscow is 7500km, at 6.5km/s is ~20 minutes. Add in the acceleration time and you’re looking at about 30 minutes total.

How long does it take an ICBM to hit?

Hear this out loudPauseAn ICBM can strike a target within a 10,000 km range in about 30 to 35 minutes. With terminal speeds of over 5,000 m/s, ballistic missiles are much harder to intercept than cruise missiles, due to the much shorter time available.

Can you launch an ICBM horizontally?

Hear this out loudPauseSo yes, you could design an intercontinental missile suitable for horizontal launch. But it would look a bit different, wouldn’t be quite so purely “ballistic” in the boost phase, and it would probably be less efficient (i.e. need a bigger missile to throw the same payload over the same range).
