Except ... they do. Since 2020

I'm not saying in actual use it's reliable, but then again that's true of every country's ICBC interception capabilities. Missile guidance tech is one of the things the USA has an edge in.

It isnt reliable. That's the point. Also, note that it isn't for ICBMs, but short and mid range BMs.
