If things go to plan they won't need an escort. If they get over the target without incident, they'll be put in to a full vertical dive at full power. At that speed they'll probably begin to disintegrate in flight, but it won't matter because they'll be on a ballistic trajectory. At that point even heavy AA fire won't stop them from impacting.
