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.

We can detect and destroy these systems prelaunch
No doubt there. Its trying to do so once they're airborne that presents the greatest challenge.
That is called a pre-emptive attack. But we did jokingly refer to that as "engagement in the pre-launch phase."
