Before flechette defenses, what would be the best way to handle missile spam? Conventional fusion missiles, fortunatly not PBs

I've generally had my AI opponents stockpile Conventional Missiles during peacetime. The way I've dealt with it is the a multi-step approach:
1. make sure I've infiltrated the datalinks (so I know where the damned things are)
2. try to position as many choppers (don't bother with needlejets or gravships) as possible within range of it prior to hostilities0
3. try to get the stockpiler to declare vendetta on *you* first, during your turn; I've found demanding they withdraw from your territory works best
4. send in the choppers and have them take out as many missiles as possible, keeping them in-flight until their fuel is exhausted and they crash there; they take some damage, but are in position for the next turn.
Alternately, if you're on the same continent as the opponent faction, have a Probe Team or two move in and try Mind Control. By that point in the game, you might just have enough ECs saved to achieve it.
The only other option you've got is just ride out the losses to your garrisons and forces in the field, making sure you have some reserves ready and production in progress to make up for it.
I realize this isn't likely to be helpful, but confess its all I've got right now.
