Logistics
I would like to add my thoughts.
Yes, you can ramp up production, but to do so, you need the resources (metal, computer chips etc) and of course the technicians and machinery to build the missiles.
Considering that you are at a high state of stress (war has broken out between two nuclear powers) I think that there would be a problem acquiring the necessary resources.
After all, if one side suspects or knows that you will supply the enemy what is going to stop him from meddling with your production?
And that can range from asking people who sympathize with you staging protests like blockading lorries etc, sending sabotage troops up to sinking ships that carry those missiles.
I dont remember, but is ist possible to fire SAMs from submarines to hit a plane at standard flight height?
And another thought:
What is the production time difference between a normal missile (TOW 1) to the most advanced form (TOW 2A)?
And what is the difference in resources?
Example:
What if you can produce 2 TOW1 in the same time you produce 1 TOW-2A?
And what if you need the resources for 1,5 TOW1 to build 1 TOW-2A?
That should be taken into account too.
