Question

How many miles are between the United States and Russia?

Answer 1

3...Alaska and Russia are only about 3 miles from each other.

Answer 2

Approx 5000 mi as the missile goes over the pole. Sorry, I just finished a re-read of the old USAF Blue Book. They illustrated that little detail on page 1.

Answer 3

Less than 3 miles (2.4 miles to be exact). The Diomede Islands are seperated by water.

You have the Little Diomede Island on the U.S. side and the Big Diomede Island on the Russian side.
