If you ever have a chance to visit the Titan missile museum near Tucson, don't miss it.
I don't know about fakes, but the missile museum will make you a believer about that one.
They were able to launch a Titan missile with a 9,000 kiloton warhead in just a few minutes. By comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 was about 12.5 kilotons.
There were 54 of the missile silos, so a few fakes wasn't going to make much of a difference.
