First of all, why do you figure that Russia would try to destroy us for actually trying to reduce our deployed arsenal? I think Moscow would welcome such a move and attempt to scale back their own.
Secondly, yes, it is true that the Russian Air Force has upgraded their old equipment by developing new launchers and such. However, though, no new warheads have been built since the mid-'90s.
And thirdly, again, why do you think that Russia would launch a full-scale nuclear attack for no reason? Even the Chinese aren't that foolish! Sorry, but I think you may have bought into some of the old Cold War era warhawk propaganda.........
