#3 possibly they meant that the missile was closely observed by Soddie aircraft so it was a visual 'interception'. |

#2 Deflection. Probably not in this case, but with anti-ballistic intercepts, its basic Newtonian physics. If you don't get a destruction, you might still get a deflection to alter impact location. |
