When adjusting for an improving system it’s best to ignore the first success. As in they shot down one, now how soon can they hit the next one. The issue is if they has a 1 in 1,000 shot they could have still hit the on the 6th test it just doesn’t provide much info.

The article states one of the earlier tests failed because the ICBM was inadvertently marked as a friendly by a sailor. So, I'm mostly agreeing that 1/6 is meaningless at this point, not showing if it's highly precise or not at all.
