    So some icbms have mirv rockets which means it carries multiple warheads. Some of those could be decoys so the anti missile system shoot down the one with out the nuke in it.

      Thanks! And I assume the hypersonic missles are even better at evading the anti missle system?

        Yeah icbms go up high into space and then come down. The hypersonic missiles have a much lower trajectory so there is less time to react for countermeasures or retaliation.
