rh200, probably not - I don't think all out nuclear warfare was expected to result in any nuclear fratricide with one's own warheads being taken out by previous detonations.

Depends how close the explosion was really, and any system designed to take out (somewhat faster) ICBM warheads should be able to deal with, if perhaps needing some modification, hypersonic vehicles. Anyhoo, getting a bit off topic.
