Obviously you don't understand the difference between a 60s-era liquid fuelled ICBM and an 80s-era solid propellant ICBM.

The first takes several hours to prepare for launch, and the second takes only minutes.

Not that we could detect the launch preparations for the liquid-fueled ICBM...

BTW, the Jupiter IRBM couldn't put a nuke on Beijing or Shanghai unless it was based in Guam, but it could put a small satellite into orbit.
