is there any military tactic to counter a nuclear warhead once it’s launched?

Answer 1

If it’s just one, and it’s launched from far away, there’s a good chance we could shoot it down.

It’s pretty much accepted that the strategy of “mutually-assured destruction” will result in mutually-assured destruction. The fact that neither side is trying to arm itself with bigger or more or better nuclear weapons is evidence that we both acknowledge that it’s pointless.
