One of the problems we must deal with when considering the threats of war and likely responses is the effectiveness of any weapons used and the tools to prevent them from working. This is almost impossible to determine given the secrecy militaries must maintain.
For example, how effective is any US missile shield? Should a hostile nation such as North Korea launch five missiles at the US, can we knock them down? Of course, given the reliability of North Korean missiles, the things might just blow up on the launch pad. But assuming your enemies’ weapons will malfunction is a poor excuse for a defense.
Anyway, there are other nations whose weapons one would be foolish to assume are duds or otherwise cannot make the trip to their intended targets. Since these weapons are unlikely to be armed with conventional weapons, this is a serious issue. And one that must keep military planners constantly busy.

Sure hope so…
Too bad we do not have a weapon like in James Bond Diamonds are Forever! We could take out N Korea’s entire missile system with one shot!
IN THEORY,YES . BUT !ITS JUST MONEY.
I can’t tell u
We will soon see!
Then we will be sure to see the next Civil War here shortly after.
Then we can truly do some good and clean the swamp out down to the street level rodents m
You got too be kidding, 75 years you don’t know if they work! WTF is wrong with you idiots? All that money wasted on military defense an you don’t know if it works! Someone needs to get fired!
Then why repeat it?
Hell yes they do…U see that$#%&!@*we sold isreal…The dome…I watched that$#%&!@*s**t down missle after missle
After 8 years of negative development, of course they don’t work, thank a Democrat.
Ideally you would want to be able to hack the enemy’s “missile guiding program” so you could make sure the thing lands where it will have the little to no impact on your country and or her peoples. Why try to catch the thing, if you can just hack it, and then direct where it lands. Dumping it into a body of water like the ocean would do nicely, so then the navy explosive device peeps can disarm the damn stupid thing. o.O
