Don't be a child. Those are ICBM's too. Have you tried to hit a bullet with another bullet? Go try it Course in a laboratory it's possible, as well as it's possible to intercept your own missile with a know trajectory in the preliminary specified point. But if you try it on a real ICBM which was specially designed to overcome all possible interception systems in the next 50 years... Good luck on that! ;)

I would never wish you to check this out in the real life...

To be honest, I know what I will do in case of the nuclear alert. I will enter to the balcony to see the sunrise. I'm not mad and I'm not kidding. I live in Moscow and the flight time of the US nuke missiles from Caspian and Baltic seas is about 5-7 minutes (the same as ours need to reach them from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans). Even if the sirens will start to howl immediately (I know that sound from my childhood, when it was a training), I will had only 5 minutes to left my home and to reach the most closer metro station. After that the hermetic doors will be closed. That's how they look that:

The inner doors:





The external ones (note the metallic rails on the floor - that's are hermetic door ways at every subway station in Moscow):





So I prefer to stay at home to see the show from the first raw
