IPM (and their use on Inactive defenses)

#1
So I launched an IPM and I was wondering if the results would show up in the combat messages. I know it launched however when I launched it all that was on the screen was a message confirming the launch. No time was given and the target still has all its defenses. How will I know when the IPM hits, if it hits or if its shot down. TIA
