Funnily enough, this isn't a new concept, the American's were working on it in the 60's.
Ironically it was cancelled because it was seen as the American's as way to provocative, and that ICBM's were easier and cheaper to develop.
In the whole . . . Alannis Morrissette would look at this as kind of ironic.
The modern day Russians don't care about the provocation anymore, they feel they were provoked into this by America going whole hog into ABM research which in theory could make a nuclear war winnable.
Also this is the type of technology that could theoretically make the ICBM obsolete.
