And an ICBM can cover a distance of 500 miles in about 1.8 minutes, assuming a very rough average speed of 15,000 mph.

500 miles is nothing in a war zone.

Oh, is Europe afraid Russia is going to launch medium range ballistic missiles at them?

Also ballistic go into space first, then across, then back down, so it wouldn't be 1.8 minutes.
