It is easier to intercept an intercontinental ballistic missile and the US still doesn't have ICBM interception technology.
Good luck.
Except ... they do. Since 2020
I'm not saying in actual use it's reliable, but then again that's true of every country's ICBC interception capabilities. Missile guidance tech is one of the things the USA has an edge in.
It isnt reliable. That's the point. Also, note that it isn't for ICBMs, but short and mid range BMs.
What? USA has been able to do that for decades
Not reliably. If it was reliable at any point the US would have used nukes on someone else by now.
