Russian term

некоторой части ракет ядерной головной части

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Military / Defense
В свою очередь, Россия имеет систему ПРО А-135, которая прикрывает Москву. В ее состав входят РЛС «Дон-2Н» и 100 ракет-перехватчиков 53Т6 и 51Т6. Эта система позволяет отразить ограниченный ядерный удар на конечном участке траектории. Но ее практически невозможно использовать в совместной системе противоракетной обороны ввиду географической удаленности от европейских государств, относительно низкой скорости движения противоракет, а также использования на*** некоторой части ракет ядерной головной части.***

This is from an article about a joint Russian-US-NATO ABM system. I know the terminology, but I'm having trouble parsing this phrase. I understand the intercepter missile has a nuclear warhead, so the "ядерная гловная часть" must belong to it rather than the target. The best I've been able to come up with is something like "... use of part of the missile by the nuclear reentry vehicle." But that doesn't seem like somthing worth pointing out. I can't help but wonder if the author isn't saying it quite right, but I can't figure out what he's trying to get across--unless it's just that the missile has a nuclear warhead.

использования на некоторой части ракет ядерной головной части = использования ядерной головной части на некотором количестве ракет

some of the missiles are nuclear-armed

Meaning, some of the missiles in the A-135 system. Here's a book discussing that, in particular.

That link didn't work to well, but the reference is there, on "page 66" of the book in question.
