    Plus many of them are so poorly maintained they likely wouldn’t launch anyway. Missiles have a lot of upkeep

      While this may well be true, Russia has so many nukes and nukes are themselves so destructive that it’s kinda cold comfort even if 90% of them fail

          You wouldn’t even need a working one. A lot of nuclear responses work by going off the moment a likely missile fitting that criteria launches, since it would be too late otherwise.

          Someone making the wrong decision at a given time could easily cause everything to go up in a nuclear conflagration. It’s nearly happened before.
