Think the US and the British carpet bombing of Germany during WWII as compared to laser guided missles used in conflicts today. Russian philosophy in every conflict (or preperation for conflict) as been quanity over quality. Just the way it is.

let me correct this since my whole family on my dads side develops those things.
the new topol-mt class rocket, mobile icbm is even scarier than SS-18 ans SS-22. they call them "satan". and for a damn good reason.
they just tested the new missle couple weeks ago, my dad told me some stuff about it, it will void any defence system it moved at hyperspeed. you cant shoot it down.
SS-18 carrier 15 nuclear warheads. not 200. they seperate in atmosphere to cover a very large territory. very accurate. while the naval based ss-21 and "Sevna" class rockets are decayin , the land force is still developing.
guidence programs? im sorry you dont read enough. maybe you still think US was first in space? lol.
and quantity over quality? hmm i dont know, but our arms are very reliable. hands down. we own a lot of market out there.
