What is considered as "fail"?

[quantified]

> can include anything from launch failures to a missile failing to explode on impact.

[eimrine]

If people or/and expensive gear were too protected for that kind of missile was it fail in the field?

[quantified]

If they were protected from the explosion? By that definition, no. It worked. Just not well enough.

[thfuran]

By that definition, sure. As long as the protection included something that actively broke the missiles.

Missing the target and hitting civilians?

Is it a war crime if your missle misses its target because of failure?

[eimrine]

Double event like missing the target and anyway hitting some civilians is rare, let us be honest. Hitting some special civilians might be not a failure for an attacker.
