Unpredictable flight path at Mach 10??
The amount of lead you need to intercept anything doing Mach 10 means that even a small change of track makes an intercept unviable. To put it in context Mach 10 (these things are almost always quoted against sea level Mach for some reason) puts you at around 2 miles a second. If you apply the 1 in 60 rule to that for cross track range due to change of track it gets eye watering pretty quickly.
