If you miss a hardened ICBM silo by a couple of hundred meters it'll most likely be able to fire its missiles back at you.

But that's why the Russians always built great big missiles. It's because their guidance systems suck.

As far as I red the gudance system on SS-18 good enough to hit the football field from maximum distance. Her wieght is big because she carries lot of the false warhead about 40 (10 is acual) altogether to swart possible anti-missile resistance.

The newest russian missile Topol-M small enough to be carried on the ground truck and so be hided in the widness of russian territory as the submarine in ocean. Still has 11000 km range.
