In the news last year, the Russians wanted to modify their ballistic missiles to strike asteroids.

Remember this: Ballistic missile is not designed to strike a target on the ground. It's designed to rely on external forces like that of gravity instead of active propulsion in a large part of its trajectory to strike its target. The ICBMs that we know just happen to be made with an intent to strike the ground from atmosphere.
