is it possible to intercept missiles by using smartbombs or other area of effect weapons, like a SB bomb? Are there ways to intercept missiles without defender missiles?

Sure is, bro. I also remember seeing a video of a squadron of Drakes doing this in a nullsec battle somewhere. Someone will probably know what I mean and post it.

There was also an idea regarding ways to avoid getting blown up by the 180 000 EM damage Thor citadel torpedo that certain overseer structures in 10/10 deadspace complexes or final escalation sites fire.
This involved careful timing of smartbombs,setup so that they would intercept and destroy the incoming torpedo(wich isn't so fast BTW) and a lot of praying to the gods of lag.
The "Firewall" fleet is a method of countering drake blobs. It involves ships fitted with smartbombs grouped close enough together so that they will destroy the incoming swarm of missiles(wouldn't that make them vulnerable to bombing?). I'm not as informed about this as I would like, i seem to remember hellcats sometimes used this?
More info from people who actually fought like this would be real nice and useful.

If you have enough ships and you you get the 3 in 4 chance of picking the right damage type you will destroy any incoming bombs too (if you do get the wrong type you will be heavily tanked towards the bomb anyway)

Maybe this? The Firewall fleet. It looks awesome, but the smartbombs grinds down your buffer and you have to stay very close to each other. It was too easy for the bombers.
