Missiles can be used to potentially deflect or break up an asteroid, rather than destroy it completely. The effectiveness of this method would depend on the size and composition of the asteroid. Efforts to develop technology for asteroid deflection are currently being researched.

What prevents asteroids from hitting the earth?
The latest thinking on this subject is as follows: Not all small and sundry asteroids can be stopped from hitting the earth. Those asteroids whose paths and trajectory are fairly known along with their periodicity can be nudged from a collision course to earth by sending a rocket or spacecraft. The proximity of the rocket or spacecraft itself is expected to change the trajectory of the asteroid (in a controlled and calculated manner.) In years to come, science may come up with other additions to this basic concept to successfully deviate the asteroid from its collision course to the earth.
What is the eccentricity of asteroids?

Can machine guns destroy missiles?

Can nukes travel into space and destroy asteroids?

How are missiles used in the military?
Missiles are used for a wide variety of military purposes. They are known to be used to destroy weapons collections and hideouts. New technology has made missiles amazingly accurate.
Do you need to aim for the asteroid?
Yes. To destroy asteroids and protect the earth you must aim for the asteroids with nukes or the laser beam house.
Can nukes really kill and destroy everything?
The answer is yes they can. The are really the most powerful weapon on earth that they really destroy missiles, planes and everything.
