Well you are right that real data is hard to get access to. I worked at a company which were developing anti rocket systems. I have spoken a lot with people who actualy create mathimatical models for interception of cruise missles. Although he never wanted to give me any hard figures (which was highly classified) he did make it crear that there are a lot of factors which makes it very hard doing it.

Today's missiles (either cruise or antiship) are very hard to shoot down because they are simply hard to detect and you need system with a very fast reaction time (so fast than an human operator would slow down the process) to have a chance to shoot them down before they could make degats.
Read Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" and/or play Harpoon, then you'll have a better ida about missiles' threat.
here's something that should interest you all:
Airbase Vulnerability to Conventional Cruise-Missile and Ballistic-Missile-Attacks
