Up until this year, the Russia let US nuclear inspectors visit and view their gear. And Russians were allowed to view the US arsenals.
The sheer number of nuclear weapons they have is verified. Can they be launched? That is another question. Their nuclear capabilities might be a paper tiger just like their conventional military.
Personally, I don't want to test that theory.
