it was in the 50s, now that Russia have more nukes and hypersonic and all that, to ensure total destructions 100x over. what makes you think that the bombs are flying in from the East?, the way you are pointing your THAAD is all wrong, they will come in from the WEST sides. at least most of them would and some from above. The technological superiority is no longer with the US, they have come to Russia and China. Without the Economic power, no 2 can never beat the number one, they have been left behind. The Manpower is dominated by few big countires with very big populations. In technology and IA, other people are leading, since they invested heavily...
Foreign instos and funds don't buy Russian nukes as assets for their balance sheets so it doesn't matter how many bombs Putin has, it's reputations that matter and the US reputation is more highly regarded when it comes to economic and political stability and it's strength in international capital markets than Russia's. Xi and Putin can posture all they like but it's not going to change the status of the USD. Despite what the Russian propaganda machine courtesy of RT attempts to have some of us believe.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Russian nukes and hypersonic are not for the West. The same as DPRK.
