How are we coming along on developing laser weapons that can shoot missiles out of the sky?

Discussion

Lasers would be the better and cheaper (per use) option to shoot down incoming nuclear ICBMs than a countermissile intended to fly into a cruise or nuclear missile.

So are the most powerful laser weapons able to shoot down nuclear missiles yet? Have there been tests done with dummy missiles?

I think we need to deploy lots of laser batteries all over Europe to be ready to neutralize any Russian nuclear threat, and more on oil rigs in the ocean, and on the North American continent to feel even safer.

So where are we on developing missile-intercepting lasers?
