This class of weapon system is quite easy to build. A decent machine
shop can build them. For example a V1 rocket in WW2 could be constructed
from very simple material, relatively unskilled labor and took about 500
man hours to complete.


The V-1 was a pulse jet not a rocket ,

You are right! It was a slip by me.

and was just about accurate to hit
a target as big as London from 150 miles away.

Yep.

As a military weapon
it was a failure except in so far as it tied down allied assets to
counter it.

Agreed. Although I would say psychologically it gave hope to the German
people that they were too were hitting the enemy back. Useless but a
doomed people will clutch at straws.
