No, intercept missiles are not ballistic but are guided, which negates the distance factor as you can simply make course corrections while homing into the target. ICBMs travel at Mach 23 (28.000km/h), that is what makes it a hard target to hit. It's like trying to hit a speeding bullet,but actually, it's travelling 30 times faster than a bullet.
