Summary: 

If only 5% of Russian missiles can get through SDI, they need to
increase their missiles by a factor 20.  Or do they, really?

Couldn't they merely double their missiles, and launch the extra
missiles simultaneously to attack the SDI's orbitting hardware
directly?  It's a relatively small number of targets, so 5% of those
missiles might very well be enough to destroy, or at least cripple,
SDI.  Then, perhaps 2 minutes later, they could launch a "traditional"
first strike against ground-based targets...
