if a missile comes over the ocean, obviously we aren't just sending up ONE missile to intercept it. you send up 100... or 1000 or whatever it takes to make the odds of missing close to zero.

and what about fighter jets? we we scramble F-16s and try to smash into this thing once we know where it is going? imagine that would be damn near impossible at the speed the missile is going.
