Forgive my naivete, but do we really have the precision measurements and kT payload calibration needed to alter an asteroid's trajectory and speed to the point

Forgive my naivete, but do we really have the precision measurements and kT payload calibration needed to alter an asteroid's trajectory and speed to the point that we can target specific (even very large) country landmasses as the Earth's rotation exposes them to the oncoming projectile?
- perihelions 2y agoNo, nothing about asteroid deflection is precise; the physics are messy and we know little about them.
