Which aerospace engineering models don't account for those? The intentionally simplified ones, which are mostly used for civilian stuff? Note that about 0.00001% of civilian aircraft are negatively impacted by stray anti-aircraft missiles.

Or the more complex models, typical for military use? Reality: Accounting for damage from weapons, when appropriate, is a really big thing in aerospace engineering. And has been for 80+ years.

Vs. 100% of modern economies have been very negatively impacted by sudden cut-offs of energy supplies (due to coal miners' strikes, naval blockades, the OPEC oil embargo of 1973, etc., etc.).

The difference is that the AE's care.




Modelling energy supply shocks is pretty normal.
