eli5. why isn’t the world set up to kill nukes in the air?

1.68K views

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.

A lot of people are failing to mention there was a limit placed on anti Ballistic Missile development with the various treaty talks. Between. 1972 and 2002 there were treaties in place.

While that was a long time ago, anti missile technology is catching up. There are various programs in place.
