It could also explain why the Soviets were so excited to find the boomer with the three operational missiles in Boomer
perhaps they dont have any more - i.e. with high failure rates at either launch, targeting or warhead fusing along with NATO countermeasures the hits that have been detailed along with the strikes against refineries world wide may have taken everything they had
whereas we now that the US still has nukes - its mentioned in at least two modules that MilGov removed the warheads from missiles in areas that CivGov ran (both cruise and ICBM's) and brought them to Colorado Springs for safe keeping - meaning they may still have warheads and missiles still on alert in areas they controlled
doesnt mean the Soviets still dont have bombs and suitcase nukes - but they may be completely out of missiles
