Well, it's still a piece of crap defense, because it's insanely difficult.

Lasers could potentially disable a missile, but it's still going to crash into something.

It's an exceptionally difficult technical problem. Mach 2 is faster than most every bullet. My

The target is much larger, but it's only in a given space for an instant. Literally, an instant.

Missle defenses are about as useful as cloth masks.
They're useless.

Maybe your missile defense is shit, but the US had no problem defending against missiles in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, or anywhere else that top brass had their chairs.

None of them have decent missiles.

Every war is a proxy war and every shit tier military get weapons from stronger countries. But I guess you're right, the missiles just aren't good enough and that is the only reason missile defense does actually work. 🙄
