...and incredibly dangerous. The USAF terminated the Titan-II mainly because of its tendency to explode due to simple technical errors, e.g. dropping a socket down the missile silo. The Titan-II was arguably America's most destructive weapon. However we got rid of it because it kept killing our own people (a bit like the Space Shuttle).
