I’m sure, but no group has a 100% kill rate.
Even the best miss sometimes.

I don’t really remember the movie but I believe you.

Imagine a bomb being thrown into your home. After it explodes, you wade through the smoke and find your way to the window. You look outside in hopes of catching a glimpse of the assailant. Through the haze, you see a man running down the street with the most glorious bob cut you’ve ever laid eyes on.
Nothing will ever be the same.

Same thing I thought when I saw the headline.
It’s giving big Zohan vibes.

Imagine getting the brakes beat off you on the battlefield by a guy with a glorious perm.

That’s a good start but you would also be able to shoot down multiple nukes from different sources. For example, you’d have a whole lot more time to neutralize an ICBM leaving x country’s mainland than you do a submarine launched missile right off the coast. Or a strategic bomber that penetrated your air defenses.
In my mind (and I am far from an expert), but the laser part is easy because that tech is already pretty mature. Though, keeping it sustained in space is another issue entirely because such a system would use a LOT of power.
The real problem becomes reliably tracking that many warheads at once and having the laser defense systems postured to make the kill shot. We’re talking multiple space vehicles and the requisite early warning and targeting systems working in unison to make that happen.
I suppose it’s possible, but I don’t see it happening any time soon.
