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

That the public knows about? We have a very poor missile to missile system, laser based systems, SUPPOSEDLY according to some buried patent HAARP could be utilized to destabilize a missile trajectory or strip the protective coating off missiles.
Though I’m sure the good stuff is top secret. I know in August the Pentagon was going to announce a new missile defense system but they ended up holding off due to Ongoing concerns. Which I’m betting we are seeing now.
Edit: Also airplane deployed bombs (the majority) are going to be useless for anyone but the USs due to their clear air superiority. The largest most advanced air force in the world is the US air force. In second place is the US Navy. We have air planes in the air 24/7 (can’t remember what they are called)
ICBMs are the easiest to shoot down if you get them at lift off. That’s goal one. It you don’t then we have like 60 missile to missile defense systems that’s terribly unreliable. That being said both US and a Russia only keep 1500-1600 ready to fight nukes due to an agreement.
That leaves submarines and again the US has clear sea authority with a navy literally larger than the rest of the worlds combined. We also have built nearly undetectable submarine submarine hunters that are only a few seconds louder than ambient sea noise.
Still… Everything would have to go right for us not to get hit by at least one.
