Yeah - you fight with what you have. If what you have isn’t exactly what you need, you fuck around with it until it is. Battlefield exigencies trump “you’re doing it wrong”/“that’s not what it’s for”. If you’re in a life and death situation, and you really fucking need a hammer, and all you have is an iPad… well, the iPad becomes a hammer.
It does make me wonder though, if there is a need for just the warhead portion of these weapons and not always for the whole missile and launcher, if it might not make sense to get the manufacturer to just make some of the warhead bit by itself and send a delivery with a few of the systems replaced with the extra loose warheads, to use aid resources (and the time of whoever is taking the missile apart again) more efficiently.
