Yes. The US got a bunch of Scuds from, IIRC, Romania (or Hungary??)
after the Cold War and has been using them for ABM targets. Scuds
burn for 95 seconds at most, so the "something less than two minutes"

It must be a challenge for our military people to fuel them, as we are
out of practice with that toxic of a propellant combo (UDMH and IRFNA),
although maybe they got some of the old kerosene fueled ones.
