Iran, Russia, and China are members of a mutual defense pact entering into years ago. An attack on one is an attack on all.

Russia has the only hypersonic ICBMs on the planet and they would reach Minot, Cheyenne, and Great Falls before we could launch a retaliatory strike if their sovereignty was breached.

Don't fantasize that US weapons systems are so inferior that they cannot respond and create nuclear Armageddon. Russia missiles are fast but the US would still launch.

How would America launch a ground-based ICBM where there is nothing but a crater?

Hyper sonic weapons don't travel at the speed of light and they are not invisible stealth weapons that leave no signature. The US has systems that can track missiles from space and give early warning. If a hypersonic weapons breaches US airspace you can bet they will launch. I understand the flippant attitude but it would not be a cake walk and it would not be an instant win.

There are no missile defense systems on the planet that can stop something traveling at Mach 10. Your ad hominem attack belies your ignorance.

Mach 10 is 7600 miles per hour, distance from Russia to Montana is 8000 miles, the hyper-missile would be in the air for at least 30 minutes prior to impact, it would be detected and a response launched. Its not missle defense, it is simply detection of the launch and the launching of a full blown ICBM counter attack. Have a nice day.
