>ICBM intercept has been a solved problem for (at least) a quarter century in the US, the core capability is quite reliable.
This is a bold claim (one might say absurdly bold) that demands extensive support if you don’t want readers to dismiss your commentary completely. Let’s start from here: the problem solution can only be inferred from tests, because no ICBMs have ever been launched at a target.
Those tests must have provided overwhelming confidence for the real world scenario. So how are those test result?
