I never said the entire missile body remains intact when the warhead detonates however the rocket-motor section is of robust construction and generally speaking remains intact after the warhead has detonated, another example is the AIM-9 Sidewinder. I've seen photographs of AIM-9 GCUs (Guidance and Control Unit) that are completely intact after the warhead has detonated. Missiles like these don't blow up into little fragments when their warheads detonate, there are substantial pieces leftover and that AGM-88 looks like its' warhead had successfully detonated.
