We have them in missiles. Oh, and on civilian rockets too.

We put them on things that are dangerous and must be stopped is something goes wrong.

I don't think you can even make missiles without self destruct. If you can, what's the point?

The self-destruct does not activate the main weapon.

To be fair, I think there's a distinction to be made between "something is wrong, blow up the missile before it hits the wrong target" and "target reached, blow up the missile"
