We can detect and destroy these instantly.
Never forget , the modern weapons the public is aware of was modern 20 years ago.
Also the same with Russia. Good reasons to have reciprocal relationships with other nations
Very plausible indeed. However, with this missile clipping along at Mach 10 (10 miles/4.69 sec), that's going to be an extremely accurate counter-meaaure (laser?) needed to down it. I know we have Laser systems ( I was testing RFIED jamming systems in Yuma, AZ when advanced Laser systems were being tested) so it could be possible.
Edit: I checked dates. The last flight of the YAL-1A was 12 Feb 2012. It was grounded until September 2014, when it was scrapped. Other laser systems were in development concurrently. Good thing you had a hill in the way!

Airborne Laser (ABL) program "officially scrapped."
Was it actually, though?
Real as death. I was on the program.
