Firstly thanks for replying

I think we have a misunderstanding - I know MT missiles are in the FB
design
section. The last question was to do with fighters blowing up with the
missile 
on interception, not the design system.

The fighter interception rules explicitly state SML missiles only
though, not 
MT missiles. Therefore implicitly they may be included, but then again
they may 
not be. if it had said 'missiles' it wouldn't be ambiguous but stating
'SML missiles' it is ambiguous.

Yes this looks like too many nails in the MT missiles' coffin
for them to be cost effective as they stand.
