The sprint was built to shoot down ICBM reentry vehicles at Mach 24 (5 miles per second).Not enough speed to stop Oreshnik
___________________________
Oreshnik (Russian: Орешник, lit. 'Hazel'),[2] according to Russian president Vladimir Putin, is a Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). The missile is claimed to have a speed higher of Mach 11 (13,500 km/h; 8,370 mph; 3.74 km/s) according to the Ukrainian military, with six warheads reportedly equipped with six submunitions[1][3] that makes it very difficult to intercept.[4] Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, described the Oreshnik as a variant of Russia's RS-26 Rubezh quasi-ballistic missile.[5]

Nobody has anything faster than that now.
It would be difficult to make a missile much faster than that that doesn't just fly off into space. You're right about escape velocity at that speed, and you do *not* do any maneuvering at Mach 25.
THAAD is also rated to intercept ICBMs. I believe we are going to send Ukraine some now that Russia is giving them something to shoot at.
