As long as the electromagnetic components inside you were burned out, even if the nuclear warhead struck, it would be nothing more than a slow meteorite.
The harm it could cause would remain within acceptable limits.
What was more, if that thing was truly developed, it could be launched directly into space. Mounted on satellites, it could form an invisible interception network in orbit.
Judging by the current progress, its development was proceeding very quickly, especially after the introduction of new materials.
