@imgreen2563 During the Cold War, they ran a shell game with warheads. The production facility would truck warheads out to the operational units, whether they be subs near Murmansk, bombers at various air bases, and arming hubs for mobile ICBMs, only they would return with the same warheads and not plus-up the units with functional nukes.
For starters, there is no trust in Russian culture or history internally, let alone with their neighbors and Warsaw Pact members.
They kept enough ICBMs loaded-up with very short leashes in the command-and-control hierarchy though.
The truth is they simply never had the institutional culture necessary to produce and maintain anywhere close to the number of nukes they claimed, and it was all designed to appear as if they had tens of thousands of them.
This is one of the main missions of their co-opting of the CIA out of the gate, to misinform the US and NATO about how powerful they were, when in reality, they were always retarded peasants who found themselves awake in a century with technologies that simply were beyond their capacity to understand outside of theft.
Nunn-Lugar gave the US an inside-look at how broken and neglected their strategic and tactical nukes forces were.
This was the main question Putin had upon assuming the presidency when Yeltsin resigned.
