I agree. When I say "shambles" I don't mean "0% functional, can't even launch a missile." The system would have to be minimally functional to at least launch

I agree. When I say "shambles" I don't mean "0% functional, can't even launch a missile." The system would have to be minimally functional to at least launch something. But at that point, even if the warhead is a dud or the rocket explodes immediately after launch, or goes off target, etc - the genie is well and truly out of the bottle.
