Speaking of intercontinental missiles.

Does an intercontinental nuke stand a chance of hitting its target given how advanced our "anti" systems are?

Please disregard hypersonic missiles. I'm speaking only of conventional intercontinental missiles.

Are our systems that advanced? Does the US actually possess anti missile systems for use in stopping ICBMs? If we do, are they tested? Do they work at all? We obviously haven't had to use them before there's a chance they don't even work.

Yes

I know the Arrow-3 can intercept ICBMs. Not sure about others.

If we do, are they tested?

Yes obviously.

Do they work at all? We obviously haven't had to use them before there's a chance they don't even work.

Good question. But I'm sure they test them on live missiles. They just don't have a payload.

You assume they're tested and that they work. Never underestimate the gross incompetence of the American government.

I didn't assume anything. You asked if they tested it and if it worked.

I don't disagree with our government being incompetent.
