LOL!
A tethered drone 200 yards off a ship with a claymore on it would destroy the million dollar missile for a couple hundred bucks.
Wouldn’t be enough overblast left to give the deck a good dusting.

I imagine they are working on the premise that if the USA cannot defend against these weapons then they would not need to build an arsenal of planes or tanks or take up large defensive positions. If they can develop anti-missile technology capable of stopping US or NATO (or anyone’s) missiles while we cannot stop their missiles, they have checkmate on the board. We will always need to be capable of either knocking their missiles out, or having non-interceptable missiles of our own... preferably both. We need a MAD stalemate at the very least.

That missile closes at over 200 yards in less than 1/10th second. It would smash into the ship and probably detonate.
