Missile defense systems can and will shoot down lot's of things but they will never catch 100% of everything. We have seen this in action many times with systems like Iron Dome. If you fire 1 or 2 missiles at an area protected by Iron Dome they will be for sure shot down. If you fire 10 missile at the same time at the same location, most will be shot down but 1 or 2 will likely get through.
My general take is that missile defense systems are a decent defense against tactical or limited usage of ballistic missiles. However in any form of 'total war' scenario with NBC warheads where only one really needs to make it through, missile defense systems will not do much to help
