200 kill sats is laughably little. The Earth is rather big and they will be uniformly distributed, putting closest sat at almost 1000km from target while whole boost phase of a solid fueled ICBM is 350-400km. So there's no chance it could work. It will take tens of thousands of sats, like Starlink.
