Maybe a stupid question, but are two successful tests enough to really rely on such a system in "combat" mode? Compared to commercial rocket companies that does not sound really promising.

Probably not enough, but, on the other hand, these missiles are supposed to sit motionless in silos anyway - that they can certainly do.
