I would agree that the TACOM sites, especially the Watervliet arsenal (manufacturer of cannon barrels) would be on the hit list. However, it is also entirely possible that those responsible for making that call were incapacitated, had enough of the destruction, or the delivery devices were destroyed. The ICBM's may have been hit in silo, gone off course, or the SLBM's tasked with their destruction may be sitting in a debris field beyond crush depth. I believe the Soviets/Russians had problems with some of their solid fuel engines (SS-24, some SS-25, some SLBM), so you could have had misfires or duds.
With that said, it's your game to run as you like. If you want your game's "devastation setting" to be "at 11", wipe these sites out too.
I look at it that if the canon material doesn't say it's gone, it ain't gone. It may not be functional (lack of materials, personnel, or power), but it isn't irradiated debris either. I point to "Lima Incident" in Challenge Magazine as an example.
