Nukes in this day and age seem to me like they should effectively be obsolete. I feel like in the age of satellite observation and the idea of geo-privacy being basically null, every developed country ought to have anti icbm tech, similar to an mrap. Short of mass amounts of dirty bombs, I feel like nuclear war should be a non issue in modern times.

You are trying to hit a fridge sized object traveling at 2000-80,000 mph, in a debris field between 2 and 10 miles in radius, with another fridge sized object, and there are a bunch of other objects in the debris field that are made to look like the fridge sized object you are aiming for. Also in the case of Russian ICBMs the one you are aiming for can maneuver so it’s harder to predict vs a basic ballistic trajectory.
