The 11-B1 was obsolete prior to the Human-Covenant War, due to the relative stability within the UNSC. They were seen as unnecessary because of the resulting large-scale destruction, damaged ecosystem, nuclear fallout and radiation that follows the detonation of a 11-B1. However, during the war, 11-B1s are now used as a last-resort weapon against Covenant forces that evaded planetary MAC defense weaponry.[1]
Trivia
Several 11-B1 ICBMs can be seen flying overhead on Standoff, often two at a time.
