Here's my favorite part of your post. " Russia has tested an SS-27 Topol-M mobile ballistic missile that would render the current Star Wars scheme useless. It is too fast to hit right after takeoff unless the interceptor is lucky enough to be really close to the launch pad. Also, the SS-27 is hardened against lasers, so the airborne laser -- a program already way behind schedule -- wouldn't work. And because it's maneuverable(it can zig-zag) and capable of releasing three warheads and four decoys, it would be much harder to defeat as it falls in the terminal stage of flight."
