> Russia loses nuclear war (in terms of response time )
Could you elaborate on that?
NATO will not strike first. I understand you can respond to ICBMs but there's very little you can do to protect your cites against them. So what do you mean by "losing nuclear war"? Even if 10% of Soviet nuclear equipment still works, that still means hundreds of nukes. The only "winners"* would be China, South America and Africa, not Russia.
* good luck living through nuclear winter

Anyway, cities are just third priority. Opponent’s nukes and command centers are the fist priority. If you can place enough nukes close enough, so that response time is very low, then first strike might paralyze nation and there is no response at all. Russia needs to consider this, regardless of narrative who strikes first.
