It’s amusing to me that you suggest the reason they use fuels that break down over time is not because those are the better fuels, but only to require replacement.
That said, I’m not necessarily disagreeing with the sentiment behind that, just that particular suggestion as a method for it :P
They have, but the best part about MIC is they need repeat sales, can’t have DOD saying ‘whelp, we got enough missiles now’
So missiles have volatile propellants and explosives, with expiry dates.
It’s why the first few rounds of materiel sent to Ukraine were ‘free’ since they were all close to or had already ‘expired’.
