We have them in missiles. Oh, and on civilian rockets too.

We put them on things that are dangerous and must be stopped is something goes wrong.

I don't think you can even make missiles without self destruct. If you can, what's the point?

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To be fair, I think there's a distinction to be made between "something is wrong, blow up the missile before it hits the wrong target" and "target reached, blow up the missile"

For the first one, you can use a smaller boom.

The self-destruct does not activate the main weapon.
