Do you not remember the Patriot missile batteries shooting down SCUDS in the 1st gulf war? Have you never heard of the Israeli "Iron Dome" system that shoots down Hezb'Allah rockets routinely?

Those have low effectiveness, and also weren't used in this case.

Doesn't really matter. The point is, if you shoot them before they launch it called "take'n out the launchers" if you shoot'um after they hit something,...well that's just too late! So, if you are gonna shoot'um down you gotta do it after they launch and before the hit something, or it don't count. Turns out we have several systems that do just that.

Sounds like you're unfamiliar with terminology.

You can shoot then in the launching stage (while it's "goin' up")

You can shoot then when it's on the terminal phase (while it's "comin' down")

Or while it's up in space (mid-trajectory).

Which are you claiming was used here? It's ok for you to confess your ignorance at this point.
