I remember reading once in the late 90's - a bit after the fall of the Soviet Union - that U.S. inspectors toured some of the then-declassified Soviet ICBM launch facilities and they came to the conclusion that the missiles would not have survived liftoff much less reached their targets. If Russia was overstating its nuclear capabilities throughout the 80's, is it possible that they've been overstating their military capabilities in general?
