    If we assume only 10% will actually lift off, and of those, only 10% will hit their target and detonate

    What? Why would we assume this?

      I’m assuming absolute crap maintenance of missiles and warheads. If they kept better care of them, more targets get hit.

        We should err on the side of pessimism, not wild optimism when it comes to this stuff. Joke’s on us if we start a nuclear war and a billion people die because we thought their maintenance was bad.
