 How much does an intercontinental rocket cost? The [[wp:LGM-30_Minuteman|LGM-30 Minuteman]] costs 7 million USD. One unit is quite affordable for the Syndicate but they needed 500 of them.
-Therefore Muro let construct the ICBM in Russia without warheads. The simultaneous launch of that many rockets makes sure they don't get declared as a false alert. They get shot into the sky and trigger a nuclear retaliation of USA, and then of Russia. The nuclear holocaust and the contamination will come from the real rockets. Hence nuclear material for own warheads is not needed.

 The cost were further reduced by siphoning off fuel from cities' "zero-priced" hydrogen grid. Also the rockets are made in Syndicate run (reverse engineering) repair cafes which have advanced 3d metal printers. The Resurrection Shops are situated at the periphery of cities.
