Sadly, the Soviets (and their technology) are long gone.
I beg to differ - Soviet technology is still here. Ukraine has

American nukes, and presumably Soviet/Russian ones, have the inital

This is true, and I think I should repeat something I have pointed out >before:
just because Putin let his Army and Navy decline doesn't mean he let
his Strategic Missile Forces do the same
