My understanding (consider me the opposite of an expert) is that the
silos require local human initiation of launches. So an attack
doesn't have to destroy the missile in the silo, it just has to cook
the operators in the bunker.
Seems like if the ICBM struck 'on target', it would have no problem
cooking the inhabitants.
