Once again ..... did you read and understand what you linked to? No of course you didn’t, you do not have the mental capacity to understand how they came to the conclusions.
I repeat ...... THERE IS CURRENTLY NO TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN PROVIDE ANY EFFECTIVE DEFENCE AGAIST A SATAN MISSILE’ ! Just as this article YOU posted explains. The Russians are even now designing and testing even more advanced versions and integrated defense systems. They are years ahead of the US in this field.
Can We Stop a Nuke?
From the impossible dream of a space-based shield, missile defence has come down to Earth. But will it work?
Just a few snippets from all 6 pages of the article ........ I read it!
Some (Anti-missile missiles) are meant to thwart missiles as they rise from the pad (the pre-boost phase), while others are designed to destroy them as they descend toward the target (the terminal phase). The flight time between the two phases is called the “midcourse.” Midcourse defences are the only ones currently fielded against long-range threats, like ICBMs.The lack of midcourse interceptions in the MDA program also suggested that that the technology was not mature enough to handle the task.He (Philip Coyle, 72, a former nuclear weapons designer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) points to the lack of tests against countermeasures,........., and the small number of test successes as evidence that the system being developed could not handle a real-world threat.Sending solitary target missiles into the air as targets and successfully intercepting them gives the American public and policymakers a dangerously false confidence in the system, , he adds.Consider China, he says: “If they believe, like we hope North Korea would believe, that we have a missile defence that works, they’re likely to do what Russia did many years ago, which is build hundreds or thousands of warheads and ICBMs so they can overwhelm the most futuristic missile defence system we can imagine.”SO, CAN THE U.S. STOP A NUKE? The answer, because of limitations on testing, seems to be that no one will know until the threat is inbound.
Missile defence proponents and developers cheered September’s success—a single 23-minute test. But U.S. weapons evaluators typically demand hundreds of hours of operation before a tool of war is placed in the hands of soldiers, pilots, or sailors. The missile tests have shown that the smallest detail gone wrong can derail even a well-planned launch.
Testing may be an intractable problem. That leaves the military in the position of not knowing how the system will work until it is called on to perform. Only if nuclear warheads streak toward the United States will the question finally be answered, with millions of lives in the balance.
This is just a couple of Rusian developments that the above would be up against .......

Now a bit of common sense analysis ........ Think like Putin, who is under threat from the mighty US weapons arsenal parked within walking distance of his extensive border with eastern Europe and is an integral part of the US’s stated first strike ICBM system? He is a leader and is therefore forced to protect his country ..... I am sure he would rather spend the costs on something more beneficial to the Russian people like infrastructure improvements.
Launch and pre-boost phase - Vulnerable ..... the SATAN is relatively heavy and slow to accelerate, thus a perfect target for Aegis. Solution – 1) make it mobile 2) Attack Aegis before the launch or the other scenario, an Aegis launch automatically initiates a retaliatory response on NATO (Europe?) and the US. At the same time s-300, s-400’s and s-500’s attempt to destroy the Aegis launched missiles and the ground stations.
WWIII has just started ...... unfortunately for all of us it will be over before you could boil a kettle and make that last cup of tea!
Mid course – the data gathering phase for the enemies defensive missile system. They plot the trajectory and calculate he target. Solution ....... change directory throughout all three phases of flight.
Terminal Phase – could be intercepted by defensive missiles Solution – Multiple war heads each with independent pre programmed target information ..... each war head automatically seeks its target.
Reading the article you linked ..... the US still relies on fixed locations (i.e. Silos). Russia knows where they all are .... but they will not necessarily be the targets because Russia will recognise Armageddon and know that the US/NATO missiles are already on the way.
Same with the ground based Aegis system installed in Rumania and Poland(?) right on Russia's border and creates a real problem Lavrof has explained it! They are so close to Russia that one single mistake by any Aegis unit will not allow time for verification. Thus a WWIII scenario becomes an instant retaliatory response. Russia could not afford to wait ..... it would have to launch immediately to take out Aegis and to retaliate against incoming US/NATO (assumed) nuclear missiles.
Although Aegis has been declared ‘defensive’ by the US/NATO, that is not true. It is a part of the US first strike scenario to prevent a Russian response to a US first strike attack. It is (apparently) also quite a simple process to swap missile types. A very aggressive posture by US/NATO .... it cannot be considered any other way.
Solution ..... remove the missile defence systems in Europe and locate them in the US. Europe is not under threat from Russia .... only war mongers believe that, they need a bogey-man to keep all their toys and play war games ! Obviously ..... not a good idea.
