How long would it take a Cuban Missile to hit New York?

The range of a Cuban missile, specifically the Soviet R-12 medium-range ballistic missile, is approximately 2,000 kilometers (about 1,200 miles). Given that the distance from Cuba to New York City is roughly 1,600 kilometers (about 1,000 miles), a missile could reach its target in about 10 to 15 minutes after launch, depending on its specific trajectory and speed.
