How much of ours is protected by deep bunker infrastructure?
The manufacturing end? None that I know of.

The silos themselves are much tougher. I don't remember the specs and probably couldn't divulge them if I did, but they can take close to a direct hit with a good sized nuke and still fire the missile.

Copper will likely stay around. But as I said, there are multiple methods of getting the orders to the silos. And multiple protections to prevent accidental or unauthorized intentional launches.

And that's enough on that.
