Yes, I know its not really that feasible.

Edit: If a nation does not fear retalliation due to this protection. Then the second strike capability is dramatically weakened. Thus making nuclear weapons a real option for the country available again

    The US has been dreaming of perfect missile defense and it keeps being an impossible goal.

    The true MAD guarantee is the nuclear triad: silos, bombers and subs ensure they can retaliate even after a massive attack.
